Forum Overclocking : Heatsinks & Air Cooling CPU fan question

Word :    Username :           
 

Which way do stock CPU heatsink fan's blow air; into the CPU or out of the CPU? Which leads to my next question, if it blows out of the CPU will this be a good setup?:

3 fan:
front: intake
side: exhaust
back: exhaust

thx!

Should blow out. If possible, set it to blow to back exhaust fan.
