I'm hoping to finish building my new PC tomorrow. It's my first time building and I'm not sure which way to install the CPU cooler.

For reference, the computer specs are:
CPU Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H
RAM - Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB (2 x 4GB)
Case - Cooler Master Storm Scout 2 Advanced

Sorry if this is a bad question, but I looked at all the builds on PCPartPicker which use the same CPU cooler and motherboard already and there seem to be 2 orientations of installing it. Thanks in advance for the help.
 
this would be the best orientation
