Heat does rise, but the air comming out of the heatsink won't be especially hot (maybe 30 degrees hotter than ambient at load?) and the pressure of the fans will overcome that.

The general idea was to have 3 fans in a row for a good pressure rise through the cooler (I run them on low), the hot air from the CPU would go straight out the back, and the 200mm fan would suck out the generally warm air floating about the rest of the case.

Seems to work quite well, although I admit I haven't tried it with the TRUE120 blowing upwards.
