Hey Guys,

I just bought all my parts and I am confused how to install the Arctic Freezer 7, I can't seem to understand the directions it came with and I am confused on the orientation of which way the fan should be. Is there a picture guide somewhere on how to put this on? Also I am unsure which is the proper orientation to set it direction wise. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Fans usually point toward the back of the case and if the mount is blocked the second best would be straight up.

Can anyone with this cooler post a pic of how it looks in their case? I am having some difficulty figuring out how to put this in. Sorry, noob at this :(.

If you have a PSU with a high-speed 120MM fan (i.e. a Rosewill) pointing the AF7 straight up at the intake fan of the PSU will actually work better than pointing it towards the exhaust fan at the back of the case, unless the exhaust fan is also a high speed 120MM fan.

I have an Antec P180 so the PS at at the bottom of the base, but the case also has a 120 MM top and back exhaust fan. So I am sort of confused :(

Also with a Power Source at the bottom of the case should the PS fan be pointed UP or Down?

Thanks!
