Tt-Vincent Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 When installing PSU's, do you face your PSU's up or down? any reason why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dO_ob Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 I tend to face my PSU downwards if there is a dust filter if not i guess facing up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tt Marco Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 I usually face PSU down in order to draw cold air from outside of chassis to keep PSU cool down. The only concern is fan bearing might wear by gravity over time ! How is everyone think ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tt Andy Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 I face mine down too, to draw cold air from outside but only if there is a dust filter though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Facing down, since there's a dust filter down there. Also I tend to drop some screws when installing new hardware and I wouldn't want them to fall into the PSU. Tt Andy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dabeavis Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 I'll face mine down, probably the only reason I'd face mine up is if the case isn't made for downfacing or MAYBE if the PSU has LEDs (Like the OCZ Fatal1ty 550W that I might get).

HappyBuddhaman Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 PSU's should be face down when at the bottom of the tower, face up when at the top, fan should always draw air in from the outside. Tt Andy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
