Hello Everybody...

i was wondering, as my AMD athlon XP 2000+ is always running high temps-even though the cooling in the case is very good and the mobo is running at 22C. and all other devices are cold enough, i wanna try different methods of coolin. as of now the fan on the stock heatsink n fan is blowing down as it always does, i want to mod in to suck air away frm it(i have heard n know this would be better as there is the dual fan PSU fan right above it n will suck the hot air away). it will not fit on the heatsink if u just reverse it, i tried this. is there any other way.

as far as my electronic knowledge goes-if i switch the red n black wires it will not turn the other way. n the yellow is for monitoring. any ideas how to reverse fan direction.

ps: the point is i don't wanna buy a better fan or heatsink, n wanna get the best out of this.

all help will be appreciated.

Thanks Guys..
