Fan facing downward , they should all fit.

I mean that there is not enough holes in the case to hold the PSU's screws.

My 400r was strange like that. Cannot remember exactly but it was either two or three literal holes and the rest was kind of a half circle where you screwed it down.

Well with the fan facing down I can only screw in 2. Facing up I can only screw in 3.

Didn't mean to make that the answer. Anyways I can only fit in 3 both ways. One is hidden by the case.

3 pics I have found , only show three being used , you are right.

That's correct all the pics I see show 3.

It will still be stable with just 3 , I had an old Cougar case that you could only use 3.

And one half of the 3rd screw in place is hidden by the case, and it wont fit.
This is with the PSU fan facing downwards.

Have you tried flipping it around in different orientations to see if it will line up? Fan facing down and fan facing up? It would be nice to get as many in there as you can but as long as it stable and it seems to be in there correctly, it probably will not be much of an issue as you normally do not move cases around much that are that big.

It fits facing up, not down though. I want the fan facing down.

Yeah, I have a TX750 V2 from Corsair and it was strange like that as well. I had to finagle around until I managed to get some screws in it... at one point felt like I was at the point of a strip. Would you be able to post some pics of the issue?

@bird

Thanks for finding that picture. Great to work off of.

This is the 400R but the build has the same issue start at 5:32.

Power supply doesn't mount right.



I mean, I cannot even fit the 2 screws in.

As long as it is stable in place , it will be fine.

Might vibrate a little bit but should be ok.
