hs/f question

[hoodedrat]

wonderin what the proper direction of the fan on a hs should be... should it be blowing down on the hs or should it be blowing away from the hs.... thanks

[tricktx]

the fan should be blowing away from the heatsink therefor despersing the heat

hrmm, got a thermaltake volcano 6cu and that blows out, and i havent touched it since i got it

[tricktx]

then your ok

The fan should blow air into the heat sink to cool it up!!

I think its very much a case of what works best, it can be one way or the other, just put ti whichever way gives the lowest temps, in may case blowing onto it :)

--i meant take off the fan and turn it the other way around -- not turn the HSF upside down :rolleyes:

I knew what you ment..

I was trying to say was if you put the fan the other way wont the blades of the fan hit/(come in contact) with the heat sink!
:( :(

dont need to get MAD.

LoL... would i ever get mad with you grimmy ? (:rolleyes: )

-i see what you mean about the fan blades and the fins, although i mainly use coolermaster HSF's so ive never had that problem, i just turn the fan around and go again... still if you can try it both ways on ur HSF, give it a try and use whichever way yields the lowest temps :)

as Bizkitkid2001 said!!!
go stand behind a floor fan(The ones that blow air around a room) and then stand in front of it, in which positition do you feel cooler, in front or in back?
