It's blowing towards the front of the case. Or flip the rear exhaust fan over and use it as in intake fan. Currently it's setup as an exhaust fan. I would rather modify a fan so that it fits over top of the memory than to have it Pull air. Fans tend to be more efficient at pushing air through a cooler. Edited April 22, 2020 by J3st3r Awards

I have three fans in the front pulling air in and then two fans up top and one in the back pushing air out of the tower. The fan on my cooler will only fit right there.

The fan on my cooler will only fit right there. If I put it on the other side of the cooler, I cant get my fourth memory stick installed. The air gets sucked into the blade side of a fan and blows out towards the fan hub or spindle. I noticed 1 of the 4 legs that connects the cage to the fan hub in your pics is facing the cooler so it's definitely trying to push air from the back of the case towards the front. Which won't work very well with a rear exhaust fan trying to suck all of the air away from it before it can get to the cpu fan. Flip the CPU fan over. You can keep the fan on the back side of the cooler, but you need to flip the CPU fan over. If you don't it is going to overheat the CPU and cause it to thermal throttle or damage the CPU or the socket on the motherboard. 1st pic is with the CPU fan pushing toward the front of the case like you have it. There is little to no air movement across the cooler because the rear exhaust fan and the CPU fan are trying to blow air in opposite directions. If you flip the CPU fan over so that it blows towards the back of the case it will pull air from the front of the case and pull it through the CPU cooler and rite out the back of the case.

The rear exhaust fan is blowing air out the back of the case and the CPU fan is blowing air towards the Front of the case. Neither fan will move much air like that. If he flips the CPU fan over, not the cpu cooler (Fans are directional) so that it blows toward the rear exhaust fan the CPU will run much much cooler. This is how his CPU fan and rear exhaust fan are currently configured. Awards
