Dual-Aircool Fan Position

Hardware Hub Cooling

Recently got a the Zalman CNPS10X which is a heatsink with two areas to mount 120mm fans. I was curious as to the best air flow position for both of these fans. As of now, the fans are facing the same way so that one is blowing toward the heatsink and the other is taking air away from it. I'm averaging 45-50 degrees Celsius with a moderate load. Would it help to point both fans toward the heatsink?

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you face both fans to the heatsink they will cancel each other out and fry your CPU!

Set them up in a push pull config which it sounds like they are already.

Your temps sound fine and as long as they stay below 70 you should be ok (60 for AMD)
