Hey guys!
I had a few questions concerning the installation of the coolermaster 412 slim. For those of you who don't know this cooler, think of it as a cm hyper 212 Evo with two fans. Anyways, I'm worried about the orientation of the cooler, especially how the heat pipes at the bottom will impact cooling.
If I'm not mistaken, on most Intel cpu's (mine is a i5-4670K), the "hot spot" of the die is actually in the middle of the CPU. If I run the heat sink with the heat pipes parallel to this hot spot strip, won't the outer best pipes not be in contact with the CPU die?
Another way is that you rotate the cooler 90 degrees so the heat pipes sit perpendicular (so they run across the CPU die at a right angle) to the CPU die. Has anyone done this with an evo or a 412 slim? Will this result in better cooling? Really appreciate any help I can get!
Thanks in advance for any advice.
