Question New Heatsink

I just got a new heatsink that is a spire. The fan on the top of the hs seems to be blowing air onto the heatsick instead of off of the heatsink. Should I switch this around? Thanks

The fan should be blowing into the heat sink. IT would probably work the other way too, but I don't think it'll work any better.
