Does it matter which way the heat sink goes?
It doesn’t matter what side of the heatsink the fan is on, as long as the fan is blowing the hot air out the back/top of the case.
Can you build your own heat sink?
Building your own heat sink is a simple process and is extremely cost effective. The only materials you’ll need are the insulation and the object that’s going to conduct the heat (for this you can use bricks, rubble or other dense materials) and some piping. Step 1. Dig the area for the heat sink.
How can I keep my house cool without air conditioning?

How do you make a heat sink in a greenhouse?
To create a heat sink you’ll need to create an insulated pit in the bottom of the greenhouse; people commonly use rubble to fill the pits, however bricks and gravel together work better by reducing the volume of air pockets within the pit.
How do you make a hollow pipe heat sink?
Fill the hole with dense materials such as slabs, bricks, concrete and other materials. Due to the density of these materials they conduct and store heat quite well. Add the hollow pipe to the centre of your heat sink. The pipe shouldn’t be too thin as this can prevent the natural diffusion of the warm air.
