PAL8045 Push or Pull

Well guys and gals, my Alpha should be here in the morning at last. Im pretty sure the alpha is designed to have the fan pull air off it raher than blow on it. But in your experience with this heatsink witch way works best?

I would assume that it works best pulling since Alpha says it is designed for that... otherwise I would think they would claim that it is designed for blowing - they'd be silly otherwise.

However, as is often the case, this can vary depending on case and hardware setup. Depending on what the inside of your case looks like and all, air flow in either direction could be better than the other for your setup. You don't know until you try.
