I find it interesting that they choose to push air from the MOBO up through the rad instead of the other way around, even when they had a fan on top.
I wonder if changing the orientation would have any effect as well...probably not on an open bench, but I'd imagine in an actual case it would for sure.
I'd also be curious to see how it performs when replacing the existing fan with the Noctua one from the NHL-9, or even just a standard
NF-A9x14 since those would still fit in the 'compatability mode'. Do we know who makes the in-box fan, or it's full specs beyond min/max rpm? The company making the cooler only has 120 and 140mm fans listed on their site.
