CPU cooler fan orientation


So i finished up my new pc. Everything runs perfect. Stress tests all went well and temps are good. My only concern is my cpu heatsink. I’ve never seen one flipped that way. It’s the only way it would fit on the mobo. I did multiple temp tests on the gpu and cpu, and both were fine, but I’m wondering if anyone has any experience doing it this way and should i be concerned with any long term effects . Thanks all

    Hello ariindny88, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
    We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!

    To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!

    Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

    It’s definitely not efficient considering your airflow setup, but it will be fine as long as your temps are good 👍

    Side note, what cpu do you have? You could likely get an air cooler that will fit in a normal position without obstructing the ram

    I think I’m going to push a vert mount with my case and air flow.
