I few days ago I bought a Xigmatek HDT-S1283. I am using it in a HTPC (mostly a pvr) setup using a 5200 as a CPU. Even though it wasn't necessary I just wanted to try that cooler and see what kind of performances I would get. Much to my surprise, there was no way I could setup the cooler to blow hot air into my rear case fan. I had the choice between blowing it toward my PSU Fan (Corsair 520 HX) or toward the bottom of my case. Well, I have decided that blowing it toward my PSU fan would help getting some heat out of the case.
Do you guys think, the other choice would have been better ? Also, is there any chance that it will over heat my PSU in any fashion ? BTW this rig won't be OC'ed.
