Hello I have a 15.6 inch Gaming Laptop 15-fb1000 and am looking to see if anyone knows if the direction of airlow from the bottom cooling fan vents in into the case or out of the case?  I can not tellI. I want to buy a cooling stand that seals to the bottom of the laptop pushing air in to the bottom of the laptop, if the fans pish air out the cooling stand airflow will work against the direction the fans spin likely damaging them at some point. 

Thank you in advance for any replies.

Without looking at your specific model, I can say that they almost always pull in air from the bottom, through the cpu fan (s) over the heat sink fins and out the back  of the laptop.
