I got a very basic question here.

is the fans of the CPU and video card suppose to be blowing air into it or blowing hot air away from it?
i tried feeling the air and i cant feel if there was anything blowing from it.

i have a small case and my CPU is right behind the PSU.
temperature dropped by 5 degrees when i removed the PSU.

if the fan is blowing air away from the CPU, then i guess its not actually a problem.am i right?

again,i dont have temp problems.this is more of a learning stuff for me.even with the CPU behind the

PSU temp looks good (weather is not that hot, yet.not until March next year).

thanks!
