hey everyone i just got my parts in today and im about to start my build. My case is the NZXT Phantom 410 and in the manual it says i should mount the PSU so the fan is facing upward, should i mount it so the fan is facing up? or should i face it down? every build video i have seen has them facing down. thanks for the help

If there is a ventilation grill on the bottom of the case the fan should face downward.

The manual does not say that the PSU should be mounted with the fan facing upward. You're interpreting the accompanying image as the only way it should be mounted and that would be wrong.

All of the reviews that I've seen, of that computer case, shows that the reviewer mounted the PSU with the intake fan facing down.
