Today i installed a CM hyper TX3 EVo to my FX6300 CPU(AM3+),and im unsure as to if my setup is optimal

Here is a pic of inside my case

Fan on far right, pushes air in,fan on far left pulls air out.

The CM pushes air from south to north,this is installed as per the instructions.

As it stands i am getting lower CPU temps than the stock cooler,but my HDD are running a little hotter than before and i would also assume my Ram is aswell.

If i were to install the Cooler upside down that would then increase the heat of my GPU.



Not sure which way is best,can anyone offer any advice.


Edit: I also came across this pic http://www.coolermaster.com/uploadfile/fileproduct_list/P13021804159d85/PRDPIC/b6686bff3bef45d213e854605411ac43_1361408991.jpg

Installing it via this method does appear to be optimal,as it would push the air straight into my Extractor fan on the left,but it doesnt look like a very secure method of fitting,and may cause some rattling
