Ok looking at most HSF, stock or otherwise most blow down through the heat sink. Wouldn't be better to pull air through the sink, through the fan and into the "slipstream" of air from front intake fan to rear exhaust fan?
1. The hot air would not be recycled by being exhausted and deflected by, say the ram stick and get re-sucked in by the fan.
2. You could get cooler air across the VRF and other heat sinks around your socket.
3. I could see how the cooling may not be as effective by more passive cooling of the air just being sucked past the CPU heat sink and not blown directly onto it.
Am I way off base or what? Thoughts?
