I have an am3 board, is there a way to have the mega halem in the north south position..

i have -

bottom psu fan as intake
rear fan as exhaust

I was wondering because i was thinking of making my rear exhaust fan to an intake and have 3 fans up top as exhaust fans so it brings me to two intake fans and 3 exhaust or should I just keep it as is and have 3 exhaust and one intake fom the bottom?

Bottom should be intake, top should be exhaust (hot air rises, cold are sinks)

Also, you should just west-east, that way you do not pull hot air from the graphics cards.

Try to balance the air flow too. If you have 4 fans, try to have 2 intake and 2 exhaust if possible, but if it is not, lean towards exhaust, because exhaust fans can always force are into the case.

i have one exhaust and one intake right now and once my shippin comes in adding 3 more fans that will be exhaust, so instead of having 4 exhaust i think ill make the rear an intake also so that will bring it to 2 intake(bottom and rear) and 3 exhaust up top

but then that means the east west position will be wacked out as on a push pull...cause everything will be getting pushed to the rear fan which is an intake?

The Megahalems can be oriented in an east-west or a north-south direction. Just remember that you need to buy an extra AM2 mounting kit to use on AMD boards.
