Low profile cooler question!

Dive5885

Just had a quick question about the fan on my low profile cooler.

 

Currently it intakes air and blows down on the motherboard.

 

Cooler : THERMALRIGHT AXP-200 Muscle

 

I was thinking of flipping the fan around so it blows the air inside the case and then my case fans blow the hot air out.

 

Would this be a smarter Idea or no ?

 

All opinions welcome!

 

Thanks!

No mate, don't flip it. It's blowing air onto the heatsink to dissipate the heat from the fins. If you flip it, there's no heat being dissipated.

It'll pull heat away actually, it's just less efficient. It's better to push.
