Hi , is there any method to turn the fan in reverse?

Usually, the cool air comes from the two sides , then the warm air comes out from back , so that the screen would to be warm too , this way may harm the screen. So I think if there is any method to turn the fan in reverse , and make the cool air comes from back , the warm air comes from the two sides

Most fans are not capable of having their spin direction reversed, not to mention even some do support it, the fins of the fan are designed to spin in a specific direction from the get go. It's a hardware thing, not software. The developers won't be able to add support for this as it's not widely possible.
