Quick PSU Question....

Just a quick a slightly noobish question...

Is it possible to fit a power supply the 'wrong way up' ?
Do they have a 'right way up' ?

Thanks guys

If the screws fit its in the right way up.

Most cases have a fixed way that you have to mount the PSU, due to the way the screws are aligned.

HOWEVER....some cases, like my lian-li PC-60, have a removable PSU mount that (i think) allows you to insert the psu 'upside down'. i've never tried it becuase al of the PSU's i've had in it have had fans on the bottom

well really wouldnt matter. you wouldnt fit it so the fan is pointing up into the top of the casing

so there is no actual 'right or wrong way up' to mount one then?

well if it fits and fans are point ok then its the right way. really not gonna effect it since you can mount it in different case different ways around

As long as the fans aren't against a solid surface (i.e. they can suck air) it'll be fine!
