The inside looks clean. However, isnt the CPU heatsink fan mounted backward? should it be blonwig onto the heatsink instead of pulling air away from it?

I've never seen a Zalman mounted different to the way he has his. It pulls air in and pushes it out towards the rear fan for extraction.

@Blancmange I hope that's not the only monitor you have there! Must be a devil playing games on it. Another vote for an internals shot from me.

he is talking about the side fan, it is sucking air away from the heatsink, he was wondering, shouldn't it be blowing at the heatsink and not sucking from it.

the side 92mm fan is reversed, and is blowing hot air to outside the case.

with the zalman 9500 HSF, it performs better with the side fan as an extraction fan, as with the side fan in its default position, it disrupts the airflow of the 9500 and thus the core temp is higher. i get a 1/2 deg drop with the fan as an extraction.

yes, i do have a primary monitor, its a 17" viewsonic VX715.

i will get pics of the internals later today once the camera has charged again.
