Airflow
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 H55 for a re-installation?
Re-installation of the H55 cooler will require you clean of the pre-applied thermal paste and apply an aftermarket paste.
3. Do I mount the radiator hose up or down?
For optimized cooling, Corsair recommends the radiator is mounted hose down.
