So my hyper t4 is coming in a few hours and i want to know - should it blow ear to the back case where the fan pushes the hot air out of the case? Or should it blow ear to the top?

CPU: AMD FX 8350 | GPU: AMD R9 270 Windforce | MOBO: ASRock 990FX Extreme 3 | RAM: Kingston HyperX 8GB | Case: X Predator X1 |CPU COOLER: Hyper T4

NAZIS WILL RISE.

All depends on what case you have. I have a Dark Rock, and I have it blowing up because of the text on it. And because heat flows upward all its doing is pumping heat out. And with the back exhaust fan its performance is the same regardless which direction you put it.

If you have two top fans, then you can do either one. If you have smaller mobo, I would use normal vertical mount. Horizontal mount requires one free PCIe slot between cooler and GPU. With vertical mount you can still have 2 exhaust fans, but use rear and top-rear for that. If you have problems with hot CPU, you can use top-front as intake.

I noticed in a small(ish) case, hat the temp decreases if you mount it exhausting to the back, if you have a powerful gpu directly underneath it. That being said, with Good case Airflow, it won't really matter, if you have more than ~2 fingers (yea I'm professional) space between the fan and the Gpu.

Yup, but the instructions seems straight forward enough. Also don't put too much thermal paste. "Less is more." Grain of rice at most.
