So i'm building a mATX in the thermaltake a30i case, it only has allowance of 90mm height for a heat-sink+ fan, so I've chosen to go for a Noctua NH-L9i.
Link to case specs: http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00002115
Only problem is, the case fans, especially the 200mm exhaust one, is sitting pretty much directly above the heat sink and its fan, would this have cause the fan on the heat-sink to perform not as well due to the large exhaust fan sucking air away from it?
Or will there still be enough air for all fans to run efficiently?
Secondly, rather than having the cpu fan push air into the heat-sink, would having the fan pull air up through the heat-sink be just as efficient, or even better in this case? can't find much information about this.
