Default Xiggy horizontal vs vertical ?
Will i see a difference in temps if i mount it one way or another in the case ? It's a case very similar to the antec 900, so im afraid it's not going to fit with the case vertically, because of the side fan.

Thanks + rep

Doesn't make much difference. Just make sure it can clear your memory.

What case do you have?

Im trying to visualise what you mean but If I have it right, you may draw hot air from your GPU if the cooler fan is in the horizontal.

With the case you have, I don't think it matters what direction you have it.

I don't think it really matters what position since your CPU's a dual core. It matters to Quad Cores however.. check this out: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/coo...coolers_3.html

Quote:
As you know, coolers with heat-pipe direct touch technology should be installed onto quad-core processors in such a way that the heatpipes go along the processor socket lock lever (photo on the right), and not across it. In this case the cooling efficiency will be significantly improved. Xigmatek HDT-SD964 is no exception from this standpoint, because when we installed it as the photo on the right shows, the temperature of the hottest processor core under maximum workload was 2~3°C lower.

With respect to the above post, "ye cannot change the laws of physics, Jim"

Hot air will rise and if you have a fan in the path of that heat flow, it will suck it in. Case design, notwithstanding, id suggest the OP trail both positions, if possible, and see which is the cooler of the two.

From a personal perspective, I gained 2-3c moving from a horizontal to a vertical configuration... not a biggy but still a difference.

That's actually a pretty big difference. I'd say most of it probably came from reseating better or something.

You will see a difference. Like already stated hot air rises.. It may only be 1 to 2 degrees but it will change temps. Does the case in question have a top fan?
