Hi, I am building a computer and I am having trouble with the air flow. I was wondering if anyone knew if this GPU has intake fans on it, or exhaust fans:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
It is the SAPPHIRE 100354OC-2L Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 Card.

I need to know this in order to decide whether i want to put intake above it, or exhaust fans.
Thank You.

That graphics card releases it's heat inside the case.

so the fans on the GPU are exhaust fans right? Since they blow the air out into the case. So above the GPU i would probably want to install an exhaust fan to push the air out of the case right?

No the fans are intake fans, they force air into the heat sink, and the heat dissipates out the ends and sides of the heat sink.
