Hi,

So i have got this for cooling
http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/cpu-air-cooler/hyper-103/

Now i have a problem thats been asked a lot of times but i guess i have a bit different case here.

I have no front intake/rear exhaust(will add,depends). only 2×80 side intake .

So in this case Cooler fan should point toward ram like this. http://cdn.overclock.net/d/db/db80b966_IMG_2750.jpeg (not my case)? Or the opposite direction?

Thank you.
 


How is the CPU's hot air supposed to escape?

Yes, the fan should be on that side of the cooler. The fan is pushing air. The air is being directed to the rear of the case.
 

yep, i have considered to buy a case within few months but never got a good looking + good pricing case ($30 is good price though) have this one currently https://www.zebronics.com/products/cabinet-intermediate/desire
im open to good case suggestions :-D would be great if it can be found at amazon.in or flipkart or some other indian sites.
 
Do it the same orientation as it is in the picture with the fan next to the ram.

Your PSU fan should be facing internally & will act as an exhaust.

I'd add fans to both side intakes but they want downvolting to 7v or they'll be noisy as hell.
Buy molex powered fans & this is very easy to do.

As said ideally a better case is the way to go when you have some spare cash.what components are you running??
 


my psu is at top and facing downward (corsair vs550) but its exhausting too low amount air (i had zebronics psu earlier which would exhaust lot of air at rear).
both side intakes are running.
 




Grab the case I mentioned above, picking up one more of these fans if you want to get even more airflow which I suggest you might do to remedy the problem of a poor PSU fan, or help it at the least.

But what you have suggested is out pf stock , also bit over my price limit that i would like to stick that is within 3000 rs 🙂

 


circle is good cabinet vendor? i am seeing lot of good stylish cabinet from circle but not sure about its quality
 
Circle - budget indian vendor.

They tend to be not the best build quality with fairly thin panels but theyre cheap & that case in particular has a decent preinstalled cooling setup.

Youvget what you pay for with cases , cheaper case=cheaper quality.

That one is good value for money though & far far better than what you're using.
