| Which way is the V8 installed? I recently purchased the Coolermaster V8 and am confused with the positioning of it. In the Coolermaster instructions it shows the V8 installed with the logo upside down (picture shows PS on top and memory slots on right) and the direction of air flow in this configuration moving from right to left, i.e. air exiting the back of the case. Many of the online reviews on the V8 show it with the logo rightside up (opposite to the Coolermaster instructions). The latter would then mean air pushing back into the case. Can somewhat clarify which is the most efficient way to install? Thanks. |

| Re: Which way is the V8 installed? Just installed mine,V8 is the right way up and exhausting towards the rear case exhaust fan.After much searching found that this method produced lower temps. |

| Re: Which way is the V8 installed? Thanks MikeP. I eventually did the same and it does exhaust to the back of the case when the V8 logo is right side up. |

| Re: Which way is the V8 installed? My PC's cpu is the i965 and the cooler keeps it in the mid 30s at idle. I guess I am happy. Maybe I'll try water cooling in the not too distant future. |
