Basically, this is how my aftermarket fan looks in my computer.

Not my picture btw**

Should I leave it like that because of the large exhaust fans on the top or should I rotate it towards the rear exhaust panel?

will is be a huge difference in temp?

Either blowing up, or blowing back.

Blowing down is counterproductive.

so this would be an ok set up?

tobiasz :

If the fans are blowing up, you should be good. There is only a tiny difference.
But also, there is only a tiny difference between 1 fan or 2 fans on those coolers.

The fan that I have is facing down towards the GPU. The metal part is facing up.
Is that good?

tobiasz :

If the airflow through the cooler is down, then no, that is not a good scenario.
Blow up or back through the cooler fins.

USAFRet :

The black fan is facing my GPU, and the heatsink is point north and south.
This is a better picture of my example.

I also have this case:

So I thought the position of the fan will blow air out through the top and rear in that current position like in picture.

Yes, probably it is blowing up through the cooler fins. If so, all is well.
