-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I put a 4" computer case fan on my K2/100 heatsink. I run digimodes in addition to CW with my rig so needed the extra cooling. I installed the fan with some double sided foam tape on the corners of the fan. I installed the fan so it blows up, pulling air through the heatsink.
For those that don't know..... on these small DC computer fans the direction of airflow is toward the label. If you see the label it's blowing air in your face.
