Default Fan blowing on to hardware?

So, my specs are under my name. I have a corsair TX 850W PSU on the top-back of my case, sucking in through the bottom and lowing out the back. I also have a side fan on the case which blows air on to the hardware such as the graphics card and CPU. There is also another fan at the front-bottom to blow air onto my Hard-Drive. So really it's the general airflow:

except with an extra fan on the side to cool things down.

However, I also have another fan on the rear of the case just below my PSU, in line with my CPU. Now, this fan blows on to the CPU and has different speed settings. Surely this will make it so the hot air just keeps circulating in there? That's the way the man that built it did it. Is it better to have it so it sucks the air out? Is there any way to get that fan to do so, or would I need a new fan?

To be honest, I agree with you on that.

It probably would be better as an exhaust.

Just unscrew it, and turn it round, then screw it back down, thus reversing the airflow direction.


That will also equal out the balance of Intake/Exhaust fans.
