PSU fan and my 12mm fan is all suck air in

 

if your PSU is facing down and the fan is in taking air from the bottom of the case you can cover the entire thing if not and it's up then you could cut a mesh into the shroud for ventilation.

If you do that you're likely to burn out the PSU.

but........ a lot of people do it?

You can just make the power supply cover shorter.Dont listen to the guy above.Unless your power supply fan is facing up its not a worry

You need to flip the psu(if the case supports it) so that the fan intakes from the bottom.

my fan is facing down

EDIT: i checked you can filp it so the fan is on the bottom and it will work fine.
