We all know heat rises? don't we!

so if the GPU is upside down and the fan is sucking in air it pushes the hot air out which is perfectly fine. but if the GPU is upside down the heat will go out of the bottom the card (where the mesh holes are) and because its still hotter rise back into the card?

am i bonkers? or am i right?

if they redesigned the PCB so the fan was facing upwards and mesh was facing the PSU/CPU surely the GPU would get less toasty?

i would like a good discussion out of this
What are your thought?
Do think it would be good idea to have the fan facing up.
wouldn't you like to see the gfx on your graphics card with out buying a lian li case? :)
