First Build/Peerless Assassin 120se

[Godzillacheese]

Hi, I am in the middle of my first build and even though watched tons of videos and prepped..Im a bit confused.

 

Does it matter what direction I place my Aircooler?  My motherboard is an Asus Z790-P Wi-Fi.

 

I placed back plate and the stand offs and the metal brackets but haven’t screwed them in. Thank you for any help.

Forgot to mention my motherboard is Asus Prime z790-p.

Given how you've placed your bracket it's irrelevant, aircooler looks symetrical (seems to have same small notches on each side for RAM/board heatsink clearance )

Left side of that pic has no notch.

 

@Godzillacheese the way you are holding the cooler in the pic is correct orientation. Make sure the fan blows toward the case exhaust fan in the back of the case.
