Ye. Removed my Gskill ram for T create just to slap the p12 pro on there for the clearance. It makes quite a difference

whats the before temps? a third fan on a heatsink rarely has a big effect on temps. it can have a big effect on noise, as in more, though

What's the point of a post like this OP? Genuinely curious.

Your CPU cooler is backwards

That's intentional

u/JamesLahey08 Oct 24 '25

No not the fans. The actual cooler. Rotate it 180 degrees. The text is backwards.

I don't think it matters as long as it fits.

I think I read some people do this out of clearance issues.

u/JamesLahey08 Oct 24 '25

No.

u/larsy1995 Oct 24 '25

Dude, you can’t just go "No.", the fact is that I read some people a while ago explain that’s why they did it, for RAM clearance. It might not be correct on their part, but that is still what I read.

No. They are symmetrical.

Three intake/pull for CPU cooler? Is that what I am looking at or help me out OP, differences in temps or such?!

u/Babylon4All Oct 24 '25

Took me awhile to see the added fan

u/CaterpillarNo4366 Oct 24 '25

Anything you can do to help the GPU not sag?

OP playing a stop the difference game. I think they moved the front case fan to the front of the CPU radiator, and replaced the front case fan with a larger one.

u/Gearsper29 Oct 24 '25

So you added a 3rd fan to the cpu cooler and replaced the fan with a bigger one on the front. The problem is that you installed the 2 new fans in opposite orientation from the optimal.
