Quick easy question regarding PSUs.

marrissey · 23 Dec 2015 at 12:58

Is it possible for this PSU to fit into the top? It is possible to turn a PSU upside down? is that a bad thing? (link: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/evga...plus-gold-modular-power-supply-ca-023-ea.html )

And in general can PSUs be mounted on either top or bottom? Are there specific models of PSU that are only designed for bottom mounting and vice versa?

I'm quite new to PC building and I'm quite confused.

The psu can fit top or bottom. Just make sure you fit it with the fan facing down.

You had better remove the link to the case as they are a competitor and links or naming competitors are not allowed on here.

Okay thank you for the clarification!

Unless you mount the PSU in the bottom of the case and there is NOT a vent down there, in which case the fan should face upwards!
