@saurigr8,

Also the 212 EVO can be Fitted in 2 Directions. One is the HS Parallel to Top Face of Cabinet or Tangent to it.

Choose it depending upon Air Flow Pattern of your cabinet.

I am getting Top Exhaust fan of 140 MM hence Mine is installed with the 1st option so that Hot air gets out quicker.

In simple word - aftermarket HSF like 212 Evo can installed in both Horizontal /or Vertical Position.

Vertical Position : The heatsink will face either the ram slots or rear side of the cabby

Horizontal Position : The heatsink will face the the gfx card.

I've installed my 212 in both direction and Horizontal position proved to be most useful ;-)

^^ for me it helped in to keep temperatures low - with the cooler vertically mounted I was not able to mount the top fan but with the cooler in Horizontal position it's now possible to mount the 120mm top fan in CM elite 430 ;-)

oh then i won't see any improvement i have already fitted the top fan but there is a chance that my NB temp will fall because if i mount it in horizontal way then the cooler will suck a bit of hot air from NB.i have to experiment it once.thank you.
