Noctua heatsink

[phippsy]

i bought a noctua heatsink and i have mounted it with the fans facing down i have a haf 932 case and my psu is facing down is this ok or should i change it so the fans are facing front of the case

 

[phippsy]

i have mounted it so that the fans are facing the graphics card and psu i have a big fan on top of case blowing air out should i change it so its facing sidewards

It really should be mounted horizontally (with the fans pointing to the back of the case), not vertically. Which Noctua is it?

i was wondering would it be sucking in heat from the bottom cos heat rises but my psu is facing downwards so its just my graphics card

That's why it should be mounted horizontally.

Yeah, that may cause PAM clearance issues, which I'm guessing is why you mounted it the way you did, but it really should be the other way.
