Make fun of me if you want, but this thing decreases the chipset temperature by 10 degrees.

with this position, i think that fan is rather returning heat to the laptop and so increasing (and not decreasing) chipset temperature…
myth is still busted until you show us your temperature sensors screenshot Mr Adam Kakashi Savage

I put it this way coz:
1. it’s the way it’s positioned on a regular CPU
2. it blows some cool air into my hands ^_^
I’m gonna make some graphics w/ the 3 situations (w/o fan, w/ fan, w/ fan reversed) & post the results.

I uploaded the results.
During heavy load (kernel compilation) the temperature is almost the same but otherwise the fan (blowing in the laptop direction) has the best results.

myth not completely confirmed, not completely busted…. so, me, Jamie Shikamaru Hyneman, i’m gonna to say that’s a plausible myth !
