Hey guys!
I recently bought a Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition because my cooler box from intel started to fail.
However, when trying to mount it on the Gigabyte H81M-H motherboard, I noticed that its fan does not fit facing the memory slots (it does not go down completely), which forced me to mount it on the other side of the heatsink .
My case is a Bluecase Gamer BG-017, opened at the top with a filter and tempered glass on the side. My question is: Can the fact that I mounted it on the other side than the memory slots harm anything (cooling or even performance)?
The HWMonitor is registered temperatures between 44 ~ 53 ° C for my i7 4770 (before with the cooler box it was between 60 ~ 75 ° C).
My other question: because I installed the fan on the opposite side to what is indicated, can I use it without active RGB?
My motherboard doesn't support RGB for fans, and I don't intend to use the controller directly at the PSU. Does this affect anything or can RGB be optional?
Here are some illustrative images of my problem:
