After the photo I did a better job cleaning. Didn’t hurt leaving it upside down, kinda adds character.

What power supply do you have?

Not gonna lie I have been upgrading a pre built from Cyber Power. I’m not 100% sure on the power.

It looks like the cables of a 80+ smart unit.

But I may be wrong.

I could use some help with this!

Moved to Cooling and cleaned some off-topic posts. Do not backseat moderate.

In future these personal updates are better suited as posts on your profile, but seeing as how there are a few people replying and some discussion taking place it can stay open.

 

It doesn't matter which way the logo is facing, but if the cooler logo being upside down bothers you unscrew it and flip it around. You won't need to reapply the thermal paste if you're just remounting it.

At least it's a pretty easy fix. Plenty of people have finished building a PC only to find the I/O shield floating in the motherboard box and had to disassemble half the system to install it 😛

CPU: Intel i7 6700k  | Motherboard: Gigabyte Z170x Gaming 5 | RAM: 2x16GB 3000MHz Corsair Vengeance LPX | GPU: Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1080ti | PSU: Corsair RM750x (2018) | Case: BeQuiet SilentBase 800 | Cooler: Arctic Freezer 34 eSports | SSD: Samsung 970 Evo 500GB + Samsung 840 500GB + Crucial MX500 2TB | Monitor: Acer Predator XB271HU + Samsung BX2450

Was the fan pre-installed or not? The 212 I've installed had pre-installed fan. Which would then mean that you had some effort to make this upside-down as the fan is blowing to correct direction.

^^^^ That's my post ^^^^

The fan was clipped to the heat sink so I removed that before installing. I wasn’t paying attention until I went to put the fan back on.

I believe it adds character to it. It wouldn’t be anything I built if something was either attached in a ghetto way that works or upside down.

 

Also thank you for moving this! I forgot there was a sub forum for this...
