PSU intake fan direction...

Hi all,

Another pretty pointless question for ya,

As some of you may be aware, the Corsair Obsidian 650D has a hole in the bottom for the intake fan on the PSU to point out of, my old case did not and made the PSU efectively a case exhaust fan,

so my question is...

which PSU orientation would be the best?

I would put the fan facing down so the PSU can draw fresh air in.

It's better to isolate the PSU from the warmer air of the case air if possible. That and the cables will reach just that little but further, especially with non modular supplies.
