installing a sk6

[cownose]

Hi, I'm making a 2nd attempt to install a sk6 on my cpu. I've got some thermal paste this time, but I have a very simple question: which way should the fan on the heatsink face? Is it supposed to blow the hot air from the heatsink out (facing outward away from cpu), or blow cold air into the heatsink (facing towards the cpu). I have 2 intake fans (one of them are mounted on the HD rack), and an exhaust fan, if that helps in determining a more optimal solution. Any info or suggestions will be greatly appreciated, thanks again.

it should blow onto the cpu, the only time it should suck is if the heatsink has a shroud covering it, because then the sucking air would be wasted

actaully i have heard some people who have had teh 60mm ys-tech 40cfm fan and even some ppl with the delta 38 getting better results with the fan sucking off (no shroud). Try blowing on first, then get teh temps and try sucking off.
