Cool Master V6 GT Air Flow

[doody]

I just bought a Cool Master V6 GT, to cool down my 2600k, I want to overclock. It's cooling well, but I noticed that both fans are blowing air away from the heatsink. wouldn't it be better if it was a push pull setup? I mean why is it set up this way? can I get lower temps if I flip one of the fans around?

Are you sure? very strange and yes it would be better in a push pull configuration in the direction of a rear case vent.

You know, I could be wrong but when I put my hands on each side of the fans i feel a lot of air blowing outward, it's hard to tell with the fan blades design on this cooler.

My friends wants to sell me his V6 cooler for 20 bucks. It is missing a fan but my cup cooler I have now is a cooler master so no biggy. Is the V6 a good cooler?

yes it is depending on the price. For $30 something bucks though I wouldnt bother with it if you have a hyper 212 series installed.

I have a CM V6 and it only pushes air to the back of the computer. I use it to cool a i5-760@2,8GHz OC@ 4Ghz and it's always under 60°C on burn after a few hours.
