Does the PSU need to be inside the case?

Hi, I am looking to get a new case, but my PSU does not fit. I am not looking for a new case recommendation yet, just tell me whether or not it will work without any negative effects, or if it is needed inside the case for cooling reasons.

It doesn't need to be inside the case.

It will work. The only negative effects that can take place are more exposure to dust and anything else that might fall through the fan opening.

You can have it outside, just make sure the PSU cables can reach its connectors inside the case.

No, it does not need to be in the case. But getting the cables fed inside and long enough to reach could be difficult.
