Be gentle, been out of building for a while so this may sound foolish.

Just got my parts for a new build and I'm wondering about
one thing, as to fan orientation on the cooler. So, I'm trying to
understand the install process.

My system is using an i5 Intel.

This cooler supports 2 120mm fans, one on either side (not on top).
I'm only going to use 1 for now.

When I mount the fan on the cooler, which side should it point
towards, front or back (side, 90 degrees)?

I'm thinking back for exhaust, but I want to be sure.

I found some good youtube videos, but it doesnt really show this
and maybe it only goes one way?
 
Well, no one knows?

Here is my best guess, the fan is mounted on the cooler (right side looking into case),
on the side facing away from the back of the case. With many motherboards this
is next to the RAM slots.

So, the air is sucked into the fan, pushed through the
heatsink to cool it, and dissipated out the back.

It should then be sucked out if you have a rear case fan there.
