Side fan help

[Sunehildeep]

Recently I bought a side fan for my case. But I'm not sure whether I should make it suck air in or make it blow the air out. Behind of my cpu is a wall and on its sides. It's in a cabinet. I'll attach a drawing.

Side fans are generally intake, to blow across the GPU.

It's a simple one like this. http://www.ebay.in/itm/112375868626?aff_source=Sok-Goog
And btw where will the fan take air in if it has only one side open for air that is cpu's front

What case do you have?
Is there an opening on the side?

Yes it does.

Then put it in. It only needs about a centimeter of clearance for enough airflow to suck air in.

Making what more hot?

So try it the other way around.

The GPU. Crossing 90 celsius. More likely going above 100.
