How To Attach A Fan Through Zip tie to a graphic card?

Hey Guyz..

Sorry for my bad english..

Couple of weeks ago i asked a question that the one fan of my graphic card r9 380 4 gb saphire has broken by mistake.. and for from then it is running on one fan only.. now the temps are not comfortable in my openion it is going to 87c under load.. i know that won't kill it immediately but it will reduce its life.. now i arranged zip tie or cable tie and a fan .. and i also removed the old fan.. now i wanted to ask that how should i place the fan? should i place it in position in which the fan blows towards the graphic card or should i place it in that position in which it blows away from the graphic card?also wanted to mention that i am changing one fan only with a cpu fan

Exact name of graphic card is : AMD R9 380 4 gb saphire nitro

Fan should be blowing in towards the card

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016
