Build help

Hi all,

trying to put my PC together and have hit a confusing matter. trying to install the PSU into my Phanteck Luxe case. If I install it with the Superflower writing facing up and from the rear the Eco button is the correct way up the fan actually is facing into the case and once the PSU cover is back on then the air will be trapped. If I turn the PSU upside down the fan faces down and will flow air under the case through the vent.

Any suggestions?

The PSU fan facing down so it draws air from underneath the case there is also a dust filter at the bottom .

Its built to draw cold air from underneath the case and exhaust hot air out the back which is the correct way , i checked the case spec to make sure.

Is it the Phanteks Enthoo Luxe Case ?

The psu actually sucks air in though the fan and not exhausts through the fan. The hot air comes out the mesh on the rear where the plug goes. Set it up as designed so that the fan faces down and sucks air through the filter.
