Ok my thermaltake tower 112 is pissing me off. I have an abit ic7-g m/b. It seems like its not compatible with it because the holes for the h/s are not like other motherboards. When i mount the tt112 the fans point toward the PSU and VGA when they are supposed to point towards ram and other side of case.

This is how its supposed to be: http://www.hardwarelabs.de/bilder/projects/heatpipe_vergleichtstest_iii/big/ttmontiert.jpg

My tt112 fans point the other way, i dotn know how to fix this. Does any one know how?

in the link the mobo socket placement is on the "standing" position while on the abit "sleeping" position..tats y ur fan are pointing to the psu not the exchaust fan..

It is not guaranteed that it will be pointed this way. It depends on your mobo's holes. There's pretty much nothing you can do about it.

Unless you want to build a hole new fan holder out of plexiglass that will be pointed to the rear fans.

I made a custom fan mount to change the direction, no diff in temps .The psu ran hotter when the fan pointed up thats all.Once the base was lapped the temps were as good as a xp90 with the same fan.
