Default Rotating my Nirvana 120?

Should I rotate my Nirvana round so that the fan blows air upwards towards the 140's to lower temps? Would it make a difference?

Im trying to get my processor stable on 3.7 but it gets too hot on the stable voltage!

Thanks !

Well my 3.7 might be stable @ 1.45v, but it gets to 61 in about 5 mins which at that point i stop because its too close to the danger temp. My cooler says it can handle 150w + but at these settings, according to Xtreme PSU calculator, my CPU pushes out 225w .

Some OCZ Freeze and new case fans may be able to do it, but im wondering if the orientation of the cooler is better upwards ?

Changing the orientation is unlikely to net any adequate gains. What you need is a TRUE with 2 fans in push-pull configuration.

Yeah that would be nice, but i dont have the cash at the moment.

I was just wondering if this would have any quick fixes because it gets too hot only after a while, its like its on the edge of getting too hot, a slight change may stop it. Ill have to see if the new case fans change anything because the current ones are abysmal!

Thanks anyway! rep+
