    Buy urself the Thermaltake ducting mod, you cant go wrong and you might lower ur temps by a few degrees. Otherwise buy a hefty heatpipe heatsink and watch those temps fall!

    If blow is better than suck why do all power supplies that have one fan suck the air at the back?

    The PSU is at the top of the case, heat rises, and it acts as an exhaust. You need cold air moving in, but also the hot air needs to move out.

    (Also, some people turn the fan around in the PSU to fit they're particular cooling needs)
