Nope. Just checked it. The sticker is facing up, yes, but the fan is blowing into the heatsink.

Here's the full size pic.

Dude, your wrong, its not blowing onto the heat sink fins like it should, its blowing air away form the heat sink, making it less effective

ramodkk · 05-11-2008, 08:59 PM

Hey voyager, did you take out the fan to see where the air is flowing? Cause if you just put your finger on top of it to see if you felt air, you can still feel an air current on the side of the fan where it is puuling the air from.

I think that ^ was just more confusing!

I just want to get this straight. You say I should have the fan upside down and have air blow THROUGH and DOWN INTO the heatsink? If thats correct, I did that when I swapped the fan. I originally was going to just have it blow up like a normal fan, but my dad told me to turn it around.

ramodkk · 05-12-2008, 02:12 AM

Yeah, that's correct.

Timo · 05-12-2008, 11:25 AM

If I am correct even the stock intel cooler blows into the heatsink instead of sucking air out?

taylormsj · 05-12-2008, 12:53 PM

Turn it round = better temperatures most likely

Yeah, the intel stock cooler blows into the heatsink. I don't think there's any heatsinks out there that blows away from the cooler.
