I have that cooler (Very good). The fan blows through the blades towards the back of the PC towards the ports. So, the side with the fan is furthest away from the back.

I just bought the same cpu cooler. The fan faces the front of the case. The air from the fan blows through both pairs of fins toward the back.

I would say the best way would be so that the fan blows out the back of the case.

Hello, link to quitepc.com ,that they give animated tutorials on how to install that particular heatsink. Useful if you have a working pc with which you can access whilst your doing the changeover or if not, make some notes.
Different sockets have different ways of fitting the coolers tell me wat is urs
