PSU Query

Is it acceptable to mount a PSU 'upside down'.

It would suit my layout.

It may hinder air flow into the PSU, but apart from that, there is no reason why not.

Thanks – the reason I want to mount it upside down is that there is a 140mm square grill/vent in the top of the case immediately above the PSU.

Will the screw holes in the case for the PSU allow for it or are you going to drill new ones?

Good question.

The case is a Lian-Li PC-7 but I don’t have the Corsair 520 yet.

There is a removable plate at the back of the case for the PSU.

I’ve taken it off and all the fixings seem to be symmetrical so it will rotate through 180deg.

I suspect it should be ok.
