Placing PSU otherway around in NZXT Noctis 450 case

caseproblem123 · Apr 17, 2016

I have a Corsair CS series 650w gold PSU and i had fan making this grinding noise so i placed it other way around ( fan upwards) in my NZXT Noctis 450 case and now it's quiet. This case a has PSU shroud and if fan is faced up then theres barely any room for fan to take air because of shroud. So my question is how dangerous is this?

its the pwoersupply, its not the best quality, but far fromt he worst.
ptu the fan down, your graphics card loses air and your psu too. lose /lose situation.

That grinding noise PSU fan makes is really annoying so i'd rather take quiet solution as long as it dosen't damage anything.
