Good eye!
Mistake LOL silly me, I have realized that when I later reoppened the case and felt the air flows in the wrong direction. Must have done it when I was messing with the memory.
I turned it to be mounted as it should be, didn't have any noticeable difference with CPU temperature though. It did however lowered motherboard and PSU temps, which is a good reason enough to mount it properly.
I can try and take new pictures with it mounted properly if you think it's nesessary. Or add a comment about it in the post.
I must say, the retention kit is very difficult, I don't understand how am I supposed to screw the screws from below after mounting the HS on the CPU. Took me quite some time to build a construction to make it possible. I suspect this caused the TIM not to spread even, but being a bit disabled I dare not take it off again.
Other than that I am happy with it.
