xp-90 install on 754

When I place the hsf on my cpu which way are the pipes suppose to face? I currently have then facing the back of the case and the fins are over the ram. Does it matter?

Also, this is Thermalright's website. They have an installation section for the XP-90 on K8.

In the first one, it looks like the pipes are facing the AGP slot and in the second one it looks like the pipes are facing the ram. I dunno maybe it doesn't matter. I'm idling at 37c so it must be working alright.

I'm pretty sure it can go either way.

whichever way has no obstructions

I have mine like the silentpc site, overhanging the mosfets. Serves 2 purposes

1) Cools the Mosfets
2) Keeps Hot air towards the rear exhaust case vs circulating it back to the center of the case

That makes sense. I think I'll pick up some AS and reposition the HS.
