The big Asus Silent heats orientation

I'm talking about the one here:

Which way does the heatsink orientate? To go above cpu fan? is that the idea?

According to this review:

It rotates 90 degrees to sit over the CPU fan. However you can leave it parallel to the card and it will still dissipate heat, just not as efficiently.
