    General Cooling Question

    Hi, thanks for reading ;) I have a side fan (Lian Li PC-201 case) that is blowing directly on my Graphics card (Sapphire X1950 Pro 256), what im wondering is if I'll get better cooling performance if i turn it around so it sucks the hot air off the cards heatsink and blows it out. Sorry...

    First C2D build, thoughts appreciated
