Tower monolithic coolers (the ones that mount the fan perpendicular to the CPU) are typically far more effective than flat-mount coolers that blow downwards at the CPU. However, to accomplish effective cooling, you'll need a separate case intake fan to draw in cold air from outside the case. These usually take the form of a case front-mounted intake fan and possible another side panel mounted intake fan. Lastly, you'll need a rear case mounted exhause fan.

Always mount tower cooler fans so they blow towards the rear exhaust fan, NOT towards the front of the case.
