Hello fellas.
I have a Noctua NH-U12P SE2 cpu heat sink in the mail and was wonder which mounting position is better?
The fans sucking air from the bottom and exhausting out of the top of the case or from the front to the rear exhaust fan(aka Noctua's 90 degree rotation kit)?
I have the 90 degree rotation kit on the way so I would have the option. Also the picture in the link will give you a better idea of what I'm talking about.

So bottom line is which position will cool better?
Thanks for your time.
