Hello there,
finally yesterday i built my 3970x workstation! I nearly had an heart attack because i had no video output on the monitor but thank to this forum i realized i didn't not plugged in the 8pin CPU power on the MOBO, so now it seems all fine.
one question though:
(this is my second build in 7 years., so i am pretty noob) I m afraid that i installed the Noctua CPU fan on the wrong side of the cooler. I can't find a video or a tutorial of my specific case, most people plug 2 fans (and i think i ll plug another one too) but i just need your blessing to change the airflow orientation on the opposite side of the cooler (so to the right). I attach you a pic of my build,

thanks in advance!
