Hello, I just purchased a new Seasonic S12II-520 Bronze 520W power supply.
I have installed it in the upper part of my case, and the fan of the power supply is facing my mainboard and it's right above the mainboard's fan aswell. Is this normal, will there be any complications this way?
Should the PSU fan be faced some other way?
Thanks in advance!

it really is up to you what you like, you won't see much different in specs, though i would say if you have a bottom filter in your case facing it downward does keep any more hot air than it has to away from other components. so really if you can face it down do that, if not it's no huge problem.
