Cpu fan direction

Hello

 

I was wondering which direction I should place my CPU's heatsink fan. It can either pull air from heatsink onto motherboard, or blow air from motherboard onto heatsink.

 

Thank you.

Push air into the heatsink/board (or pull the air through the heatsink towards the board).

Yeah, blow air to the motherboard to cool the components supplying power to the CPU, etc. I'm assuming you're using some sort of a small form factor case so any extra airflow over the motherboard is good :)
