FAQ

1. How do I know the direction of the air flow of the fan?
   An arrow located on the side of the fan indicates the direction of air flow.

2. Can I reuse the pre-applied thermal paste on the cooler for re-installation?
   Re-installation of the cooler will require you to clean off the pre-applied thermal paste and apply an aftermarket paste.

3. What orientation should I install my radiator?
   The best way to install a radiator is with the tubes on the bottom of the case, though you can install it with the tubes in any position, including an inverted radiator, as long as the highest point in the radiator is visibly higher than the CPU pump.
