    Except that the fan is technically pulling air from the direction of your GPU instead of from the front of your case. Just get the pliers out you girls!

    Tried that. You still have to bend fins and chop some of the bottom left corner off. You don't have the same mobo, so shush!

    That's what I said. No way could you mount the heatsink that way round without bending fins, even if you tried, they would still get bent in the process.
