Depending on what kind of heat transfer you need, if you don't have any
ducting, I'd blow the air from the fan towards the heatsink. If you try
to suck the air away, a lot of it could miss the heatsink, unless, like
I say, you've got some kine of ducting.
I agree, blow the air where you want it to go, don't suck it away.
A dust filter on the intake side of the fan would do no harm. :-)
....until it clogs. Your fan may have to work harder when the filter's
dirty (depending on where it is) which may shorten its useful life.
Good Luck!
