Failing chipset/motherboard Heatsink fan

[AcidicRage]

OK, but my question is how do I know which way am I suppose to go? Do you want the air to BLOW INTO the heatsink or BLOW hot air AWAY from it?

 

[AcidicRage]

Should the air from the fan be blowing INTO the heatsink or blowing away from it?

Away is the standard.

 

[AcidicRage]

Hmm.. I thought you were suppose to blow air into the heatsink?

I'm pretty sure the HS/Fan on my CPU blows out, but I could be wrong. Either way man, it doesn't really matter, the fans just to keep it cool for overclocking, otherwise you really don't need it anyway.

a fan always blows into the heatsink. it is the same difference as a fan blowing air into your face or away from you.
