I have a question about my PSU and my current case. My PSU is the Corsair CX 600w and my Case is a Predator G5900. What occurred to me is should I point the PSU fan pointing up or should it be pointing down which results in taking in hot air from the case. The Predator G5900 is a top mounted PSU case and there's no ventilation holes on the top so I'm pretty sure my best bet would be to have the PSU fan pointing down. Anyways, tell me what you think would be best, thanks.

With a top mounted power supply and no ventilation holes you need to mount the fan down. Very few top mount cases have ventilation holes and top mount cases themselves are sort of rare now a least on the higher end.

With that case you need to mount that with fan down. It does not have anywhere to pump the air above, so you have only one option. Had it been a case with a bottom mounted PSU then we could do something.
