which way are you mounting the 212? with the fan facing towards the bottom of the case or facing the front panel?

I don't know if I will mess up the airflow by turning it a different way?

Should I pull in air from the top of the case?

That conflicts with my memory.

Mount the fan on the other side in pull, then it will be over your motherboard heatsinks and not your RAM.

I have just started building my pc and I have my maximus vi hero rested on my mobo box above a little sheet of plastic bag material that i assume is anti static since the mobo was resting on it in the box(it is not a bag just a 1 dimensional sheet).

I don't know how to hold the mobo up to install the backplate of the fan,I don't want to damage it,should I assemble it in the case first so I can get in behind it?

how do I hold it up safely?

What case are you using? Most good cases have a hole where the CPU goes on the MB tray so that you can mount a new backplate without removing the motherboard and clumsily flipping it around. If you have a case with a CPU cutout then I highly recommend installing the MB in the case then installing the Hyper 212 EVO, as this makes it much easier.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQRIzgEVsjI - The same applys to motherboards, dont put them on top of the anti-static bag, just use the card box that it came in... Regarding the CPU cooler i usualy mount it after the motherboard is installed inside the case, if the case has a back hole to handle CPU cooler mounting plates.

I have installed it both outside and inside a case. Inside the case is the easiest if you have a cutout for CPU mounting.

If you do it outside you will need help to hold the motherboard.

I have a hyper evo 212 and a graphite 230t I can not make the cpu cooler face the RAM as it is high profile corsair RAM and I don't think it would fit.

my mobo is a Asus ROG maximus VI Hero.

I dont know if I should turn it 180 degrees away from the ram and have it pull air from the back of the case as there is a fan there and I don't know which way it blows so it might not be optimal,should I face it down towards the GPU?

Please tell me the optimal orientation. I am very grateful for any answers!

Thank You for reading.

You have 2 front intakes and 1 or 2 exhaust?

I think you should mount the heatsink fan pulling air FROM the heatsink meaning in the opposite side of the ram.

Turn it but have it pull air into the Heatsink out the back (config that rear fan in exhaust)

Fit it with the fans blowing air through the heatsink towards the rear exhaust fan. Most motherboards can have the 212 EVO like that without any RAM compatibility problems.
