I think iv installed my CPU cooler the wrong way up, iv got a K8n Neo platinum 4 S754. Nothings overclocked, its a huge thing, the Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro.

Which way should the fan be facing, up or down? its pointing down atm really close to my Graphics card and i have no thermal paste to move it.

Heres a dodgy paint diagram

Now im useing a program called speed fan 4.28 and its telling me its at 50C!!

what have i dont wrong, not put the thermal paste on correctly, put the fan on upsidedown. I cant take it off til tommorow as i need to buy some thermal paste and cleaner it seems, i really should have looked into this more before trying it!
 
At what temps should i get worried about my CPU? When i have the fan set low to reduce noise and the side of the case on, the tempriure is about 58 to 60C, is this ok?
