CPU side fan

retiarysword · 07-21-2009, 05:37 PM

I need to upgrade my CPU/Heatsink on my rig, and was looking at my case and saw the CPU sits under the fan vent. I was just thinking, are there any heat sink/fan models out there what extend from the CPU to the fan vent?? I just thought it would improve cooling if the air came from outside the case, so it would be cooler.
