after installation. i realised that the fan on the cooler is blower air towards the front of the case instead of towards to exhaust at the back. Can i just unclip it and put it on the other side or do i need to take the cooler off and do it

If its going against the air flow in the case it could most definitely be the cause of the high temps.

how much paste did you use?

I've experienced *cough* a situation where too much thermal paste was causing the temps to be high... ok that was embarrassing... (it was long long time ago before I found the pros on this forum)
