Blow out like the other alphas. I had the p7125 so it correct info.

actualy, try it both ways and use what works better,
on my PAL6035, im supposed to have it suck air out, but i push it in and works better, about 7degrees beetter

Are you sure the lower temp from blowing in isn't because the air is going over the thermistor and cooling it down, like with the asus k7v thermistors.

the thermistor is under the cpu i think, in the midle of the socket
