Hi,

In the middle of a build, and come across a problem. If I fit my CPU fan so the fan blows onto the heatsink the fan intake is going to be fighting against the PSU intake for air. Is it OK to have the CPU fan drawing air off the heatsink and blowing air into the top of the case/towards the PSU intake?
As far as I can see the same amount of air is going to be passing across the heatsink, but what are your opinions?

CPU cooler: Silverstone NT06
PSU: Corsair HX520W

Thanks
 
i'd prefer the cpu to fight against the psu, so both are getting coolish air, rather than chuck hot air at the psu.

however i would suggest trying both ways and monitor you're temps to see which works best for you're setup.
