Message: Subject: cpu cooling By: andy (IP: 88.107.82.*) Written on: 21-12-2005 15:39 i have just removed the cooling fan on my cpu in order to clean dust from the heat sink and fan but i stupidly forgot which way on it was. should it be blowing air on to the heat sink or exhausting air out of the case. i am sure it should be blowing air on to the heat sink and this is the way i have put it back together.

If its attached to the cpu heatsink, it should be blowing into the cpu heatsink
