Alpha 6035 fan direction

I've been running an Alpha 6035 on my TB 750 for a while now. WHen I put it on I followed the instructions and it said to put the fan on so that the air blows OUT. This seems funny to me, but I'm running it and it runs fine. (Unfortunately I no longer have my thermister, I lost it somehow...I've been meaning to buy a new one for a while so I can't test if it will be cooler blowing in or out)

Anyway, I ask, is it better to have it blowing in(onto the cpu) or out(into the case)
 
As long as you're using the heatsink shroud that came with it, it is designed to pull air though the heatsink. NOt to blow air onto the heatsink.

There are cases where it is better to blow onto the heatsink(ie conflicting intake fan direction), but alpha designed it to pull air though, and most of the time this is the better way to mount the fan.
