Not sure what you are talking about exactly here, at first I though you were just talking about which way the writing was oriented. Did you mount the fan upside down? Or the full heatsink? Don't know how you can mount the heatsink upside down since one side would be flat to make contact with the CPU and the other would have the fins. If you are talking about the fan being upside down (as in blowing air it instead of out or vice versa), that should not make too much of a difference in temps, unless you have no other fans blowing cool air in the case...


What do you mean the writing is upside down? It all depends on which way you look at it. And it's on a rotating fan, there is no up or down to it, if you spin the fan, the label moves with it.

i put the fan in the opposite direction where the blue clip was suppose to go on the bottom but because it was stuck to cpu already i could not switch blue clipper to the bottom.

You should have a front fan sucking cooler air in, and a rear fan blowing air out, at least for a system with any type of a gaming setup that would generate heat from a video card.
