I know this is probably a reeeeeeaaally stupid question... but which way is a CPU fan supposed to blow the air? Into the heatsink, or out from it? Thanks to everyone who helped me with my last question btw.
If the heatsink were the only fan device in a PC, you'd probably be right. (Though the design of the heatsink itself could be an important factor as well.)Fresh air on the heatsink "push" hot air away from the heatsink, it's the best way to get the job done!
