    Hey-

    What is the concensus on mounting the fan?

    Blowing ON the heat sink or Pulling hot air OFF of the heat sink???

    My fan is like a Stomper, hook it up one way, it goes forward, hook it up backwards, it goes the other way...

    Which way is best???

    Well, I've not done a scientific study on it or anything, but I have mine wired so that air is forced onto the RR. eddie

    I dont think it matters - as long as it moves the air around the R/R!

    Just to tip the scale on the 50-50 responses....Have it blow onto the R/R. I personally experimented with it and having that small fan blow directly onto the R/R definately helped keep it cooler for longer.
