Hello. Can anyone who has this PSU post a picture showing in which direction the plastic attached to the fan is? I got distracted when taking it apart and dont know how important the placement if the plastic is, and i cant find it online! Note that opening the PSU voids the warranty, so if anyone can take some pictures i'd really appretiate it!

I am going to guess you mean a clear sheet of plastic that covers a bit under half the fan.

This is to make sure air passes over the heatsinks and other hot parts of the power supply instead of just leaving the unit.

This plastic will cover the section closest to the rear vents, thus making sure the air passes over as many components as it can before leaving the unit.

Thanks for that, but i don't mean the actual fan. Instead, the fan has a plastic thin sheet screwed to the fan that's about a quarter of the fan's width (seems to be to stop air from flowing directly onto a certain component)
Its the placement of the thin plastic sheet I'm wondering about.
