I have the following setup:

P3 700@933 FC-PGA
Alpha PEP66 HS with YS Tech fan
Card Cooler XT
Antec SX=830 case with PS fan and 2 exhaust fans

Since the Card CoolerXT is blowing down on my video card and CPU is it better to have the fan on the PEP66 to suck or blow. Before I got the CCXT, the fan was sucking air away from the HS, which is recommended. Now I have a huge blast of air blowing down on the HSF, and it seems like the fan on the Alpha should go along with this line of air, not against.

I have 2 60mm fans exhausting air along with the PS exhaust fan. The 2 fans are right below the PS and just behind the CPU.

Any suggestions or ideas?
