Left to right and get 120x25 fans. Yate loons would probably be best.
X58 with a megahalems?
So this is what's happening; I wanna go for a X58 motherboard, I've been having trouble even deciding what X58 board to go for but this should narrow it down a bit.
I'm gonna get a Prolimatech Megahalems with two fans in pull/push; I'm going to do this from right to left.
So the question is what type of X58 motherboards would fit a Prolimatech Megahalems without anything getting in the way or causing problems?
Also, would the pull/push be better from bottom to top or should I just do right to left?
Thanks a lot

Wouldn't that blow air into the case ?
OP,you want the air blowing towards the exhaust fan at the back of your case.38mm fans for optimal static pressure.Check out Shadowclocks Air cooling guide here

About petrastechshop, does that deliver to the uk or is it just for US?
I still need my question answered about what type of X58 motherboards would fit a Prolimatech Megahalems without anything getting in the way or causing problems?

Technically they're US only, but I've heard they can be accommodating for overseas users. If you want a "pure" Yate but guaranteed shipping, you can use this, and if you want the newer version of the linked San Ace, you can get one here.
As for your other question, you'd have to hop over to the Megahalems club and see for yourself there (and maybe ask there, too).

Look at my first post. It will fit, but with a fan make sure you don't have ram heatsinks that are tall, because with a 120x38mm fan it's not going to fit. With 120x25mm fan it will be a extremely tight fit.

I have the Rampage II Extreme with the exact configuration with the Megahalems and everything is fine.

I love to see others who have similar to what I'm wanting.
Too bad the Rampage II Extreme is out of my price range, though I may go for it if I've got the money.

hmm I see. Well I'm not truly fond of getting a ram heatsink. Is it really necessary to have a ram heatsink?
