Hi,
I have a case were the PSU goes at the bottom. It has a vent next to where the PSU goes. Should I position the PSU to blow out of the vent, or into the case? Here's a pic for clarity.

My CPU is running very hot at the moment. I took my heatsink off to help a friend test his CPU to see if it was his CPU or MOBO that was broken and I have reseated it. It is reaching 70 degrees C under load. One of the screws is not quite tightening all the way, so it could be that, or maybe I scewed up the thermal paste. If I have to buy a new Heatsink which one would you guys recommend? I don't want to go for a water cooler, so air only please.
Also is a push/pull configuration worth it, or should I stick to one fan? My CPU is 2500k OC to 4.3Ghz @ 1.4v.
