V-Mount!!! It's an IC/Rad combo positioned to look like a "V". With the V-Mount setup, air is transfered to both the Rad and IC equally since neither is blocking the other.

See, V-Mount...

but with that setup it seems as though the cooling on both of those arent as good as they normally are had they been vertical.

...when you put a vertical setup (i.e. front mount IC with vertical rad behind it) the air passes through the hot intercooler first. This heats the air, and that hot air then hits the radiator, causing it to loose effiency. That in turn will give you higher water temps. With a Vmount setup, the rad and the intercooler get their own air, keeping everything cool.
