Thas what I was figuring.......

I took the original CPU fan off and had a spare with some UV LED's on it and mounted it on there with the fan blowing ON the Heatsink.....

Just wanted to be sure is all since dummy me didnt check how the original fan was blowing before.............

Your welcome but to see if i am right wait for a couple others to post to make sure, i was going by what i have for a cooler, what brand cpu heat sink do you have that would also help others know and make sure it is going the right way.

Its better to blow towards the cpu/Mobo on most cpu heatsinks.
The airflow also helps cool system components around the cpu socket.

Getting blowed is always much better than getting blowed away. That's my only advice.
