I have had great experiences with fans mounted the "wrong" way. I got a several degree improvement in my temps with a Thermaltake Volcano 6 Cu+ with a fan sucking air out.

There must be other factors involved, such as a heat source near the top of the fan would blow warm air on the heatsink, but if it was sucking it would be pulling cool air from the sides. But if you moved that heatsource and had the fan running the proper way it would prove to be much better than the original setup.
