Shuttle fan - suck or blow?

[Prodigy]

Should I have my shuttle fan blowing into the case (SN41G2) or sucking the air out - i.e. blowing out the back of the case?

Is there much difference?

Cheers

i would say blowing out of the case, because then you are expelling all the hot air within the case, try it and see how the temps differ

On my SK41G I have to have the Air blow out, as its passing over the hot tubes that are cooling if it sucks in it just sucks in hot air, and the temps go nuts......so mine blows out of the case blowing through the fins of the ICE

Thanks guys, this could be why my shuttle overheats when I have the case on

blowing in air though the heat fins is stupid. you're basically pushing hot air into the system

well my shuttle has the fan on the inside of the case, so between the fan and the back of the case are the fins, hence blowing the air through the fins is the best way to do this....
