Case Fan Placement

[Kishan]

Unfortuantely, I don't know if my fan is blowing the right way. I have a side 4cm fan, a PCI based fan, and a 80mm case fan in the back. The 80mm is the one I'm not sure about. I feel it blowing out the back, but after the comp has been dowloading for about 12 hours, m y reading was 36C CPU, and 40C MB. If the 40 C too high for the mobo, and should it be greater than the CPU?
Thanks,
Kishan

Those temps are fine.

Pull the 80mm fan and look on it for arrows (two of them in the same spot). Those will indicate both rotational and air flow direction.
