Blowing is better I think, just because its easier to control the flow of air. if you have it sucking and dont have an air tight baffle it would suck alot of air from around the radiator and not as much through it.

thats just me though.

you can suck AND blow, biatch.
oh sorry wrong topic...

problem with blowing is that you also get a heating effect from the motor of the fan. so you could make it suck by carefully ducting the radiator so that al the air that flows past the fan has to come through the radiator fins first.

making an airtight duct isn't the problem... I'm skilfull enough... ahum

but sucking compared to blowing (hehe) makes a huge diference to the touch..

Either I have hot air coming out the front of the case or out the side...
