on a 900, orientation on the zalman coolers is strictly user preference. The top fan is 100 CFM, the rear is only 45ish. All that matters is that the CPU fan blows the same direction as the case fan it's pointed at. Whichever way it's pointed, it'll still get more than ample airflow across the fins (IMO i think vertical is the better way), even for a QX.
