Should I put my fan up or down?

As a rule, ceiling fans should rotate “forward,” or counterclockwise, in the summer to create a downdraft. The downdraft pushes air toward the floor, creating a breeze that provides a cooling (wind chill) effect.

Can PSU be mounted upside down?

Either way is fine. Just make sure there are no obstructions to the fan. The fan side of the PSU sucks air in.

Which way should my fan point?

4 Answers. From a purely temperature point of view, not human perceived level of hotness, it is better to point the fan outward. This is because the fan motor will dissipate some heat, and when the air is blown outwards, this heat goes outside.

Which way should a fan point?

In the summer, make sure your fan is rotating counterclockwise. This will push the air straight down and create that wind chill effect. In winter, it’s best if your fan rotates the opposite direction: clockwise. That way, air is pushed upwards so heat can circulate and keep you warm.

Why are PSU labels upside down?

The vent is there so that you can have the fan facing downwards and pulling in fresh air from outside the case to keep the PSU a little cooler and not have it adjusting the airflow in the case.

Why is my GPU upside down?

To add what everyone else is saying — hot air rises; you want the coldest air in the case flowing into your video card. And that air is the air at the bottom of the case, away from the CPU. This is why the fan faces downward.

Do PSU fans push or pull?

The fan in the psu is design to draw air into the psu and the higher air pressure inside the psu will force the sai out the back of the psu. The hard rule is to make sure the psu fan can draw air into the psu. So don’t block air flow into the psu.

Which way do PC fans flow?

When mounting case fans, air flows across the open side towards the side with the protective grille, like so: So the open side of the fan should face outside the case for intake fans on the front or the bottom, and it should face inside the case for fans on the rear or top.

How do I fix my PSU fan noise?

A clogged PSU air intake can cause the fan to run faster and noisier. Clean the PSU fan filter/intake periodically to avoid this problem. Avoid placing the rear of the case too close to a wall or otherwise obstructing the exhaust mesh of the PSU in any way.

Do power supply fans always spin?

It will spin automatically when it warms up or when the load gets high enough. You can use the corsair link software(if you have the cable plugged in) to manually run it and monitors its temp.

Should the PSU fan be placed up or down?

So, if you have such provision then the PSU fan should be positioned downwards. This allows PSU fan to suck air from the bottom and the air gets expelled out from the rear side. You can clearly see this in the image given below. I strongly advise not to keep the PSU fan upwards if you have a case with a bottom vent with an air filter installed.

Which way should my power supply fan face?

The answer is an easy one, should you have enough room between the intake and the floor (and your case has a grill on the bottom for a PSU fan to draw air) you’ll want to have your PSU facing downwards. This will aid in the unit drawing in much-needed cool air when under load.

Which way should my power supply be facing?

The answer is an easy one, should you have enough room between the intake and the floor (and your case has a grill on the bottom for a PSU fan to draw air) you’ll want to have your PSU facing downwards.

Do you mount your PSU up or down?

Id say go down if you can get high enough legs mounted on it to pull enough air. That way the psu is pretty much isolated from the rest of the rig with its own air. If the case will be on a table the stock feet may be tall enough but ive had a few older centurions and they were pretty low so I wouldn’t face it down myself with those.
