I want to face the hyper t2 so the air goes through the heatsink and out the exhaust but the nature of the mounts and my case don't let that happen. Which way should I face it?

The left fan is intake and right is exhaust. Obviously there are side panels.

Neither of those is great. Either way you are pulling heat from the GPU into the CPU heatsink or blowing hot air from the CPU onto the GPU.

Did you even look at the pics? The guy has one of those "cube" cases and the motherboard is mounted horizontally.

I don't know what I'd do, I'm with Kanewolf on this, nothing seems to be ideal.

@OP what case is that?

I put the fan in like that (also turned the speed down to 75% because it was so damn loud) and I'm playing Far Cry 4 right now and the CPU is sitting at ~33C
