Dual Fan Design with Push/Pull Setup

Heatsink DetailsThe Ninja 5 CPU Cooler features two Kaze Flex 120 PWM fans with a max. speed of only 800 RPM. This Dual Fan Design improves the cooling performance without sacrificing low noise levels. The corners of the fans are equipped with rubber shock absorbers to prevent transfer of any vibration. In addition, the shape of the headsink helps directing the airflow from one fan to the other, thus creating a better heat transfer and dissipation by using the Push / Pull principle.

No. The heatsink should be turned 90° and the fans should be oriented so that they are blowing from the front of the case to the back of the case. Not from the GPU to the top of the case.

If your memory heatsinks are too tall to clear the fan, then you might have to slide the fan UP the heatsink slightly to provide clearance on the front fan.
