Hello everyone. I have a Phantom 410 chassis, and I was unsure if I should put it face down or face up? I currently have it face up and I think I have it wrong since it's hitting the fans of my GPU. Wouldn't it be better to have it face down?

Thanks,

Waru

I don't really know what do you mean with "Face Down", but in that chassis you should place PSU with it's fans facing the floor.

Oh, sorry. I meant face down as in the fan being the face. But yeah, so I think the air flow would be better doing that, right?

If you place the fan facing CPU's Heatsink you will send heat to those components, that isn't good.

Ah, I see. I'm sure with the GPU in the way, that's even worse. Well thank you very much! I'm slowly trying to be more and more educated about my build and learn about any rearrangements that should be performed and this helped me out, so thank you. :)
