Hello,

I am building in the Dan Case A4 sfx v4. I have 2 noctua NF-A9x14 on the bottom of the case as intake. I am using the NH-L9i as my cpu cooler. My question is, should I install the cooler fins perpendicular or parallel to the ram for the optimal air flow?

Thanks.

I think Josh/NFC experimented quite a bit and fins runing parallel ran coolest as hot air could escape cleanly otherwise RAM blocked it
