I just built a new ITX setup in an Nano S case with a regular PSU and an RX580.
There's at most 1cm between the the rearmost GPU fan and the PSU top.
The normal advice with PSUs is to have it's intake face to the outside of the PC if the case allows it (as the air will be cooler).
However, wondering if in this instance it would actually help the GPU, and not affect the PSU too much, if I flipped it and have the PSU draw air away from the GPU fan?
