I'll be getting to installing a rad on my 8800, with 2 90mm Tricools.

My plan is to hook 1 at full speed to the card, and the other on low to the MB fan plug.

Would both fans blow onto the card, or would a blow suck combo?

My case i'll be setting up sucks, but will have a 90mm side panel blowing onto it. 1 badly front fan,. and another back side.

Any thoughts would be nice.
 
Wouldn't the term be heatsink? A radiator is generally used for watercooling setups?

Anyways... I'd personally say push the air onto the card... unless you'll have direct forms of intake which will push air onto the card from directions perpendicular to the heatsink's fans.

I dunno though... I never use aftermarket GPU cooling
 
I would put the side intake to exhaust and then have the fans suck air off the heatsink.
