Its currently set to blow into the processor, which throws the hot air directly into the mobo. I have an exhaust fan in back (80mm) blowing out of the case, another 80mm up front sucking in... per AMD's recommendations.
Should I reverse my fans and have the HSF sucking air away from the fins, or leave it the way it is? I'm kicking around the idea of cutting a hole in the side of my case to hook up a 80-92mm fan to suck air in, ducting it directly over the HSF, but that still leaves me with the problem of moving the "bad air" out of the case. I may try reversing my fans and the HSF to see if I get reduced temps (currently with an ambient room temp of 25C I get 42C at idle 51C under load...)
Thanks in advance...
