usually it is towards, and own into the hsf. some are different. what kind is it? if its wrong, you probably have really bad temps.

Turns out i had a sh1tload of dust in my HS so i cleaned it and the temp dropped 5 degrees

Should be blowing down onto (towards) the heatsink/fan.

i blow upwards into my 120mm fan and out of my case

Try both ways, use the direction that gives the best temps.
