What types of heatsink fan combos are there?
I know a bit about hsfans. My question is what are the technical names and purposes behind them. There are fans that blow directly down on the mb cooling not only the cpu but capacitors and other components. Then there are those that blow towards the back exhaust fan removing heat from the case and helping with cool front air flow. Are there terms to specify these and which do you perfer?

Well as computer Technician or repairer. I prefer that the exhaust fans are blowing back. Why? because if you installed them blowing in the mother board. The fans will include dusts to blow in as well. Which means it'll be accumulated by the mother board which will also build up heat in the board.
Actually if you can see there are eight holes on the fan. It's not mandatory if you see them blowing inward or out. It's still your decision.
