Should 2 fans "fight" with each other ? The CPU fan blows downward ... away
from the Power Supply exhaust fan. What would happen if I turn over the
CPU's heatsink fan, so it draws air up through the fins ??
The reason I ask is that on my Chaintech Socket-A motherboard, (which sadly
has no CPU temperature monitoring capability), the CPU socket is right next
to a fan in my Power Supply (it has two fans ... one inner and one outer
.... both work together to exhaust the air out of the tower). Would it not
make more sense for the fan on the heatsink, and the fan in the PS .... to
work together ... blowing more or less in the same direction ? (i.e., air
drawn up through the heatsink's fins ... rather than blown down through
them?)
Thanks for any insights !
