so tempted to get one of these coolers can it be mounted in any direction on an am3 platform?

Afrodisiac

The fan can be mounted anywhere, and since it's square-shaped and air travels through it well in all directions, yes, the fan goes anywhere.

The cooler sits just the one way round on any platform. But you can put a fan on any side you like. You can have up to 4 fans if you like.

Edit.
Crazy flashing evil cow worm creature beat me to it. He is fast and startling.

Will your CPU be a bottleneck?

Simply because the coolers you mentioned usually have twice the amount of heatpipes and fins. If the TRUE was HDT, it would easily decrease temps by at least 10C. I mean look at the Xiggy DK. It has 1/2 the amount of heatpipes and far fewer fins than the TRUE, but is still easily within 8C of it. IMO every HSF manufacturer should at least have one HDT version of their most popular coolers.

A clip that fits on every side. It comes with it.

i meant, my xigy has a clip lock for the am2+, am3... is it the same on the mugen2?

Afrodisiac

Ah I thought you meant for fans. No, the Mugen 2 screws in with their universal backplate, there are pics in this thread you can find.
