I was wondering would it be better to suck air off a heatsink or too blow air on to it???
this has to do with the fan placement

AMD Mobile 2400XP @ 2500Mhz 1.75Vcore = 2.5Ghz
Abit NF7-S with SP-97 heatsink
OCZ 2X256MB Pc3200 2-2-2-5
Antec 400watt PSU
120GB WD HDD
MSI 9800XT
Soundblaster Live 5.1
Black Chieftec Matrix w/ 5BlueLED Case Fans
800watt Sony/Bose Speaker System
I think the point of the fan and heatsink is to pull the heat off the cpu, then spread it off the end of the heatsink.
I could be wrong though
Try both and see which gives better results.
Usually you want the fan blowing into the heatsink though...

so to suck it off the heatsink
it seems right, wish clocker would have a say in this

I'm willing to put money on it that it should be blowing down through the fins of the heatsink, but expiriment and see for yourself.Originally posted by mattesca@10 August 2004 - 10:35
