Another Dumb question

[shinji3c]

Folks I'm sorry.
I bought Antec TRUEPOWERII but!
Which side is up lol
I put it so that the fan is visible and looking downward. But when i look at the pics on newegg.com it looks like the fan should be on top?
Man I feel stoopid lol

Also it looks like the fan can be controlled? How do i do that?
I have Asus P5B Deluxe.

Fan goes downward to blow air onto the CPU.

THanks for the reply.
You are right, after building this PC, still waiting on CPU to arrive so I know if I done everything right, I think I like it! It was a hassle in the beginning, feel like Alice in wonderland or some.
Thanks again man.
By the way, how do I control the fan???

I have the same psu and when looking at newegg, I had the same question as you. Once it arrived, I looked at the specs sticker and figured the fan had to go downward. So you aren't alone!

Fan goes downward to blow air onto the CPU.

I agree the fan opening goes downward facing the CPU, but is "onto" maybe a typo in place of "out of"? Blowing "inward" would blow hot air (from PS electronics) onto the CPU. Shouldn't it be sucking air out of the case from just above the CPU, through the PS electronics to cool them, then out the back grate? That's how my 120mm-fan-PS works.

You got it right, i typed it wrong.
