i was reading someones post stating blowing air onto the heatsink is better in "most cases"
why do most manufacturers set them up to suck out hot air or blow out. and not blow onto? how much of a temp drop will i recieve if its blowing onto the heatsink?
seems like it is working against it blowing onto the heatsink, when heatsinks absorb and release the heat. this would just be pushing it back and also sucking any extra ambient heat wouldn't it?
