I have noticed what a huge difference that makes on CPU temps. If you blow air into the heatsink you get lower temps versus sucking air from the heatsink.

This works the same way air cooled hoods do i think , blowing air onto the heatsinks immediately take a ton of the heat off of the unit like blowing air on a hot hps bulb. Whereas pulling air away from the heatsink would pull the heat off but also air from out the sides so you would be removing the heat in the air not at the source.

Just had my first encounter with a51. The light didn't work. Probably a shipping issue. They were really great and let me upgrade to the xgs-190. Hope to receive soon. My ladies are excited.

Try it again. For some reason mine did that one the first outlet for some reason. Went to another and it worked fine. Took it back to the other wouldn't work. Took it to another outlet turned on and nothing, turned off, turned back on then was fine. Took it back to the original outlet it wouldn't work on. Worked fine. Uh uh but it's working fine now.

Wait. Read that again. I guess you already exchanged it out.

Just easier to push than pull heat? Maybe.
