Noob Question about Hyper 212 Evo

Hi! So I'm using a Corsair 275R case, Asus Z370-E Gaming mobo, i5 8600k, Hyper 212 Evo single fan heat dispersion, 2x front intake 120mm, 1x rear exhaust 120mm. GeForce GTX 1070 8GB, 16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000Mhz DDR4.

 

I have a question that I feel like is going to sound completely novice and I hate it lol.. but, should my heatsink be fucking turned -90 degrees??? I saw an image online and thought to myself, dear god, is this why the CPU runs a tad bit warmer than I had anticipated? So basically should it be so that the fans are facing the front/rear on the 212 evo's heatsink, or is it just fine blowing top/bottom, in my case, to the top? It's not a HUGE deal to twist the heatsink the other way, so I just need some pointers here.

 

Also if I do, I would need to reapply thermal paste? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Added image of what the setup looks like after rotating the configuration to push air all the way through to the exhaust.

You should rotate it 90 clockwise. Fan should always be blasting hot air towards rear exhaust. And yes, re-applying thermal paste is a good idea.

Okay, I resituated the cooler, so there's a line of air going from intake, through the heatsink, out the exhaust. Even looks more sane. I ran a stress test with AIDA64, max temps on all cores about 70-72C, and that is with auto OC in bios to 4.5Ghz turbo. Is there any room for improvement here with the current cooling setup? Not sure what voltages are at in BIOS but seemed like AIDA64 picked up maybe 1.312v max? I think is what it was? During the stress test.

That seems normal.

Have you tried looking at the installation manual? http://www.coolermaster.com/xresserver01-DLFILE-P1302180416de94-F13082600809a6e.html

Gonna add that cooler should be pointed towards exhaust. If exhaust is top, then to top, if its rear, then to rear.

And what if I have both top and rear exhausts at the same time? :P

Then it doesn't matter. My comment is mostly about fighting very vocal and common misconception that having cooler pointed towards top exhausts causes higher temps than having it towards rear.
