Really, the only time you might condsider reversing the flow of a cooler, is if it is shrouded by design. Some, like the Scythe Kamakaze, and the PAL 8045 work as well/better in reverse flow, but they are the exception, not the rule.

So it should be blowing on the heatsink instead of away right?
Thats the way I got it right now.

FFS, not blow on the hs, let it suck from the hsf and blow into the case so the other fans can move the warme air outside case, and unless JulesMaximus can show us a review i dont believe him, that temperatures decrease when u let blow fan on the hsf. Has to blow away from hsf.

agree, i read some reviews and tested myself cuz i got the xp-120 and blowing away was 3-5°C less hot then blowing on the hsf.

I love the heatsink. I only noticed a 1C difference vs. suck blow. It probably depends on case air flow and RPM's of your fan though. I could care less about noise...my speakers are always up so I got a 3000rpm Panaflo.
Unfortunately some family members thought it would be nice to pick out hardware parts for christmas. I'm stuck with an intel system... P4 Prescott 2.8 oc'ed to 3.5 but idle is usually about 28.5 and load is around 47 with an ambient of 22
I can't complain. It's the thought that counts :/

an o/c'd prescott @ 28.5C and 47C load? LIES!!!
