Hi, i was wondering about something, about the orientation of the fan in my HP computer.

It only has a single case fan mainly because thats the max it will allow.

Should i make it blow or suck?

The fan is right next to the CPU heatsink if that helps...

And the PC im talking about is a HP Pavilion T3725.uk.

Specs are -
AMD Athlon 64 x 2 4800+ (65W, Brisbane, 2.5GHz)
1GB DDR2 (2 x 512MB, 533MHz)
Nvidia Inno3D GT430 1GB
40GB HDD (not the original)
Windows 8 pro

USAFRet, Well thats what i though, but then that thought was countered by the idea of the other components being starved of air (chipset, hdd and so on) even though it originally didn't have a rear exhaust fan.

BouncedK, i have it like that now but i also thought that it was flawed in a sense that more hot air would be passing through the power supply..
