Hey - I've had my PC running for quite a while, but only noticed a while ago that my TRUE was upside down - the Thermalright logo is upside down when I inspected it. The stock fan as a result is on the top.

Would it be worth it to reinstall it regularly? I noticed my temps seem a bit high idling around 42c at 1.175v, but perhaps it's normal?

Thanks.
 
The orientation should not matter due to the wicking material inside the heat pipes. But it does sound like a good opportunity to reseat and check everything. The logo upside down without a good reason would drive me insane(er). Pay particular attention to the "footprint" of how the thermal grease spread and if you got full coverage of the heatspreader and a uniform contact area. Consider checking the cpu and heatsink base for flatness with a single edged razor blade and a lapp job.
