I personally would try BOTH ways. There are so many different varialbes that go into case cooling, IE air flow fan placements, power supply location etc. that I have heard people at TIMES having BETTER results with fan sucking air off heatsink.
takes a few minutes just try it both ways, gluck!

Try it both ways, sometimes you will get better results sucking the heat off the sink, but most likely blowing will be better.

I lower 8-10 degrees by letting my thermaltake smart fan 2 SUCK OUT air from my SLK-800. Sound strange but it works
I have full tower Chieftec case with two intake fans in the front and two exhaust fans in the back.

i always thought its "suck in" "blow out". But, blow in, sure.
Well it all depends. Think of it like this ... If you have something hot around the fan, suck out. You'll remove the heat that it's generating. If you blow in at that location, it'll just circulate the heat around the case, literally a heater. But if there's nothing hot around the fan, blow in. It'll circulate cooler air around the case and cool it off.
I've tried both ways, and since my fan was by my CPU, I experienced _way_ better results sucking out. A lot of people think that blowing in will add cooler air, which is true, but there are times where sucking out can prove to me much more effective.
