my friend has a 3950x cooled via a x-62 nzxt liquid cooler and his idle temp is 50 but under full load its 70-75. he thinks these temps are a bit high but who am i to know so please if someone knows if these are good temps or not. NOTE: his cooler is installed upside down (by mistake) so the nzxt logo is like upside down could that be a possible issue?

the block that mounts to the mobo can be rotated any which way, doesn't matter for performance.
Having the rad mounted to the top of the case, or to the front with the tubes at the bottom of the rad is best for performance and longevity of the cooler
