So I'm building a mini itx build in the phanteks enthoo evolv itx and wanted to know if it would get enough airflow to stay cool with that 200mm fan in the front which I am replaceing with an NZXT one for the most airflow

I think it should be fine. Placing the PSU in the case with the vents facing up would allow the GPU to pull some air through the power supply itself. I'm not entirely sure how this would affect the GPU temps as it would probably depend on what GPU you are using. It should offer better cooling performance for the PSU (theoretically) since both the GPU and PSU would be producing more heat under load and thus causing the GPU to pull more air.

 

In any case, the PSU itself should be fine. I doubt that it will get hot enough to overheat.

I forgot to say this will be a pc for my parents and there would not be a GPU in it as they would just need the IGPU but I was also thinking of using a Node 304 and I wanted that more as it's much smaller

So yeah I think I'd rather use a node 304, do you think in a low power parents pc that it would run cool enough

A computer like that is not even going to push the PSU hard enough to need a fan.
