Alpha 6035 Fan Sucking or Blowing?

I know the default is sucking air from HS but anyone experimented fan blowing onto Heatsink?
Is there any difference? I am curious.

P.S. I have Antec SX830 with four 80mm fans installed (two sucking air in and two out).
 
Yeah, I've tried it both ways. The difference is negligible at best and if anything, it makes more noise blowing onto the heatsink.
 
My friend has a celeron 336@550 on a cusl2 board with this heatsink and he got a 2 degree drop when he placed the fan where it would pull air off the heatsink(sucking). Just my 2 cents worth.
 
I run mine blowing only because I use a duct to draw cool air from side vents at bottom of case directly into the fan.
