And seems performance isn't there if it's mounted horizontally (doesn't fit). 4C more Delta T, compared to the other test where it was vertically. edit: Except with bottom mounted PSU cases this thing could be fine.

Looking at this picture it's not wonder mounting it like this is bad for performance. Rear fans doesn't help one bit in cooling as the fins are blocking the hot air. What's worse it sucks the air out of the cooler, airflow must be real funky. Plus the added fact of making the PSU noisy with all the hot air pushed there, or flipping it 180degrees and pushing the hot air to GPU (and fighting the with PSU for the same intake air)
