just starting

i am unaware of any heatsink/fan combo that doesent blow through the heatsink!

so you can take it that your fan is blowing through your heatsink now, so yes the fan is sucking air from the front and blowing it through the heatsink and the fans to the rear are exhausting the warm air from the heatsink.
 
so if its sucking air from the front now i could leave it as it is even though its not perfect, its doing what its supposed to do. or would you advice turning it now. thanks
 
well you want best airflow my friend so its up to you! best airflow would be the picture i showed you!

i know its a hassle but what happens when its fully built and your temps are high?

you will have to take it all apart and do it then!

turn it like in the diagram then you can forget about it, make sure you dont slap lots of thermal paste on!

you only need a little bit then spread it with a credit card size bit of flexable plastic until cpu is covered with a thin layer
 
lol. i bet you are getting a little bit stressed now hahahah, dont worry ive been through it aswell.

i built my water cooling loop 4 times before i was happy with it, draining the fluid and cutting the tubing etc. took me all day and i had blue fingers by the end of it
