  • Memory fan orientation

    should a memory fan blow air towards the ram modules or blow it away from the modules?

    I always make mine blow onto the modules. I don't see why you would have air sucking away from them. o_O

        Ditto! The fans should be blowing air downward towards the motherboard.
