Fan to push air away or towards the xp-90?

[WanTeD]

I got an xp-90 heat sink and a panaflo 92mm fan. Should I mount the fan in a way that it pushes air towards the xp-90 and the cpu or away from them?

Thanks

I like to pull the air, but it is debatable, it depends on the airflow in your case as well

pushing towards the mobo generally gives better temps
everyones gonna argue in this thread so heres my advice on what you should do

try it both ways, it only takes about 10 seconds to flip the fan over, heck you dont even have to turn the machine off
see for yourself

thats one hell of a good idea

[edit]
make sure you check it on load and idle you could see a diffrence
