Alpha PAL8942

Out of curiosity: Has anyone tried to flip the fan on Alpha 8942 so it blows on the HS not away from it (as per instructions)?
If so what are the results?

Thanks
 
Not as simple as that.....and I'm really surprised anyone will take one reply as the God's truth.

There are two sides to this question. Follow Alpha's directions or try it the other way. Blow air onto the alpha, ambient temp air ducted from the rear fan opening. Cooling this heatsink by blowing cool air on it will result in lower temps than sucking hotter air through it as is the norm.

You have to try it yourself to see the result. Not very difficult either.
 
I have mine the blowing air on the heatsink, but for a reason becuase I have a blow hole on the door. So this way all the air is going the same way in the case.
