can you use this fan vertically (on its side standing up) as my windows here in AZ are vertical sliders without removing the screens?

Oh absolutely! you won't be disappointed...we bought ours 4 years ago... still running great!

I wouldn't set it on its side, the fan needs ventilation to cool down and the cd/DVDs drive isn't intended to load sideways. That being said there are CPUs like all in ones that sit that way. Personally I wouldn't do it.

The panels are sliders so if you tried to use vertically they would slide down. Meant for horizontal use.

no. It is designed to stand vertically only. I have had two, love the quietness, but the low speed quits working. I am going to contact mfg, as I beyond the date with Amazon to return it, unfortunately.

Yes it can be used in vertical position. However the angle of the screen is rather upright.

It depends on the case - you can mount on top or bottom, or with the fan facing up or down. It really depends on your system. I have had this unit since November and LOVE IT. It is very quiet, and made organizing my gaming computer very easy.

Horizontal is not, in and of itself, a problem. I think maybe you'd be better off having a pro look at the problem. This fan was NOT designed as a house cooling fan. I'm seeing lots of reasons for what I think you're talking about to be dangerous, and nine gazilion reasons for you to be unhappy. But horizontal will work.

You should install fan within two feet of the roof ridge. You can rotate it in any direction you want and then adjust the angle of the panel up and down also.

If I recall correctly I could bottom mount it with the intake fan up or down so I would assume there would be no problems with top mounting it. Though if you mounted it with the intake fan pointing down you would be pulling hot air from inside the case so it is not preferable but it would probably work fine as a lot of proprietary pc's do that.

No, the stand is too short for vertical use. The stand has a custom bracket that only goes on in the normal orientation. However, the are standard mounting threads in back of the monitor, you can use a custom stand.

Sure, but face the volt display up top and the four fans on the bottom because heat tend to rise to the top....good luck...VU

I have mine mounted horizontally, but I don't see any reason why you couldn't mount it vertically.

The one issue I see is the louvers use gravity to close them when the fan is off. The ability to close in the vertical will likely be effected. I would suggest running this same question by the manufacturer.

Horizontal mounting not advised. This controller is designed to be mounted vertically for the best air flow over the vertical cooling fins on the back. Leave 5+ inches clear above and below for warm air to escape. Might be able to mount horizontal using spacers and a fan(?) but vertical works best.

t don't see why it cannot be mounted vertically unless that position puts more wear on the bearings in the fan motor. I am very happy with the one I bought and installed last fall.

Yes, but the window would open horizontally and the screen would be on the side as opposed to the bottom.It has multiple screw holes and could install either way. Pleased with the quality for the price. Packaged well.

I have my in a basement window which is over sized and boxed in. But looking at the dimensions I would say no. You might end up damaging the screen. I like the fan and it does a good job of moving air.
