PSU Fan placement

[revaerluos]

Are there PSUs which have fans placed downwards towards the motherboard?

is it good for the motherboard, getting warm air from psu directly at it?

Are you talking about bottom mounted PSU or top?

You point your PSU fan toward the bottom vent of your case, don't blow heat in.

top mounted psu

it somewhat looks like the image (ignore the M and F....this is some pic i got from the net)
the fan is placed downwards towards the processor

i din't quite get it

Normal rule of thumb is... top/rear are air outlets and bottom sides are air intake. So add them all together. It should blow out!

so the fan thats facing towards the processor has to be intake and not outake right?

If you are referring to the picture that you posted.... The PSU should be blowing out, opposite of what is shown. If the rear fan that is shown should blow out.

i don't have any system fans put up
and i don't plan on putiing one either
the image is from the net (ignore the system fan)

and about the earlier question
is it good to have a psu blowing air towards the processor?

Its no going to hinder the actual working of the PC. But when you are overclocking and gaming for a long time. the CPU/Motherboard temps would go up.
