Should i blow my fan into or away from the heatsink

[unknown8585]

i just bought an ocz gladiator and i was wondering how i should set up my fan? should i blow it into the heatsink, or should i have it suck air up from the heatsink???

Generally, you suck air up from the heatsink.

The gladiator gets better results with the fan blowing down. But you can try both ways.

Most HSF units have the fan blowing air into the heatsink. If you want to see which way is better run it both ways and decide what is the best way. Then you can post your temperatures so other people can benefit from you experience. Good luck!!

I have a Alpha P3125 and it's designed to suck from the heatsink, but my temperatures are a few degrees lower if it blows into it, possibly because my blowholes works with it, but that's what i found, so try both ways.
