Should you mount your Power Supply up or down?

Ғылым және технология

I am always asked "Why did you mount the PSU with the fan facing up?" all the time... now I finally answer when you should and shouldn't face the PSU up.

    How about what gigabyte fucked up in the 10th series g1 gaming cards? I know for sure that 1070 has a fan issues like mine rx 480 which results in 1 fan sounding like rotor when first starting,also the insane temps on the rx 480 even after the bios update.I really wish I could make something about that cuz that card can't even hold the advertised clock on the box,it's always going up and down but never stable even on 72-3 C

    Hi Jay, basic subject I've been meaning to suggest - what kind of temperatures we should be seeing inside of a water cooling loop - when we have a single pump and res config for say - 1 CPU and 2 GPUs (1080 GTX?). What would be the ones we'd expect coming out of the rads, after it comes out of the GPU blocks, CPU block, etc. An overall overview of water temps in the system.

    If we put the unlikely posibility of a pressure issue(dust entering without passing filter) aside, your system overall will likely benefit from this way of mounting the PSU. Here is why; If the fan facing down is the normal way, then the electronics that produce heat inside the PSU will be mounted on the side facing up into the cabinet. The heat will then travel up, away from the fan, potentially get trapped between the electronics and the metal plate and heat it up. By mounting it with the fan facing up, the heat will travel up towards the fan and heat said metal plate less, in addition the previously warmer plate now face outwards against the cool air under the cabinet. All in all I don't think it will make a noticeable difference and either way of mounting it is fine. Exception for the water cooled systems.

    When the PSU is sucking air in from below and letting it push itself out the back, there is still a suction pressure from beneath that will make even the hot air go down. You are correct that hot air rises in cold air, however, the rate at which this happens is far slower than you may expect, especially when we are talking only a few degrees difference.

    I tried both configurations, i wanted to see if the psu up inlet would improve air flow and draw more hot air away from the gpu, yes it would heat up the psu and have a de rating affect but the psu is oversized so this wouldn't be an issue. The result was the exact same gpu temp in both configurations which was surprising since you would think this would assist the gpu exhaust. So i left is in the down inlet standard config.

    Please tell me you were referencing Def Leppard with pour some sugar on me? Also, what many people forget with PSU fan up or down is that it was only relatively recently that case manufacturers put the PSU on the bottom, and the top mounted PSU's were almost always mounted with the fan facing to the inside of the case, and if it didn't negatively affect airflow or temperatures with less efficient PSU's then, why would it affect them now? I've run PSU's in both fan up and fan down orientation, and my takeaway from that is that I prefer fan facing up because it minimises dust intake to the PSU which extends it's lifespan, and it also looks better with the fan grill facing up.

    After a few reboots because of the rectifier side overheating I figured the dust filter is better gone (those fans lose like half of their actual power when the filter is present, so better just vacuum-clean the PSU from time to time). Also whenever the intake is facing down, swapping out the standard legs with somewhat longer ones allows to greatly improve the airflow and reduce the amount of dust that reaches the board.

    Noise is a factor too, esp. in a very quiet system. Having the fan inside the case, it has no noise direct escape path. Even if it has to work a bit harder, it is quieter. Also the fans are more effective blowing down than blowing up (where the gravity and the push work against the seal holding the blades)

    @@paulmartin2348 There are new fans that blow in the opposite direction so they work OK blowing up. But the mechanics of the fans are such that it is much more effective (and thus quieter) when blowing down, against the gravity. If the fan blows up, it is resting on the O-ring that holds the spindle. Plus the air pressure. The convection is not a factor in a case, there is far too much of air movement inside. The fans can easily overmatch the convection.

While I have been around PCs since the dawn of time (Tandy TRS-80, Commodore PET, Apple II), and I have built a few PCs in my time, I have never seen anything about mounting a power supply with the fan down before. Given that all of the printing on the exterior of my power supply’s would only be upright wi the the fan up, I thought that was the only way to mount it. My current case has the grate on the bottom so I mounted my PSU “upside down” and at least I know that it won’t hurt anything.

    Just a warning.. I mounted mine with the fan faced up since my PC sits on a carpet, and while mounting the backplate of an AIO cooler, a washer fell into the crevice between the motherboard and case, then landed in the power supply. I didn't realize this until it was too late. After testing my PC for a bit it was fine. I brought it upstairs to my normal spot, flicked the switch then hit the power button, and was then greeted with a nice gunshot sound paired with a white flash as soon as I hit the power button... Though it was my own stupidity in running the PSU without finding the missing washer... I'm never mounting my PSU with the fan faced up again. I ran into this video shortly after it happened so I don't know if the components are okay yet. :/

I don't really agree about the power supply recycling air being much of an issue, but it certainly could be if the rear of the PC was tightly enclosed under/in a desk. For my own PCs I mount it down so crap doesn't collect/fall into the PSU when it's off (which is most of the time) and so the PSU can get it's own fresh air with my setups.

Every other hole, no matter how small taped up, even PCI slot cover holes. PSU fan is hybrid and never needs to come on. The positive pressure from front fans is huge and is almost enough to blow lighter flame out if placed near psu vent. Front fans dialed in with noctua fan controller. Highest speed without being audible in dead of night. GPU is always 'actively' cooled via the flow too. Clean case, silent, cool.

Probably the temperature inside the case decreases, but the PSU cooler is not for cooling the inside of the pc. It needs fresh air and it can get fresh air only from the downside. That's why mostly every case has an opening for the psu cooler at the bottom. Now tell me I'm wrong?
