So I have a noctua nf-f12 on my hyper 212 right now. its janky but it works like a charm right now. I was wondering, what position should the fan be in? Push or pull position? I have it in push and i dont think Im not getting the optimal temperatures right now. Highest i've seen the temp go is around 66'C at 4.2 ghz. Edit: found the voltage its 1.2 volts. 

Between push and pull there isn't a big difference for push and pull you usually see a marginal difference of only about 3-4C at most.

There's really no difference. I got whopping 2C difference for the pull (exhaust right next to it) when testing it.

 

What do you mean by "janky"?

i would say push is better since the design of that fan. 

but in general you won't notice huge differences

Should have thought that before getting Noctua then.

It's a minor thing. I prefer functionality over looks. If it does look ugly I can deal with it since it works so good. Also the fan was on sale. 10 dollars why not? I can paint it too if it bugs me.
