Posted December 8, 2014 Should my psu face up with the fan side or down? My pc is gonna be sitting on carpet. Is there any chance of dust going into the power supply if I put it with the fans facing downward? My case does have a filter on the bottom.

Posted December 8, 2014 The carpet could suffocate your PSU but, it depends on your case and it's feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 8, 2014 My pc is gonna be sitting on carpet. Face it up. Unless you have adequate space below the case. Besides, most PSUs don't really need that much cooling (my AX 760 hardly ever turns its fan on). • NCASE M1 • i5-9600k • GTX 1080 FE • Z370N-WIFI • SF600 • NH-U9S • LPX 32GB • 960EVO • I'm a self-identifying Corsair & Nvidia Fanboy; Get over it.

Posted December 8, 2014 Does the case have tall feet? If it is on thick carpet I would make it face up. System: Thinkpad T460 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 8, 2014 Author The carpet could suffocate your PSU but, it depends on your case and it's feet. My case has feet that are about 1 inch. Is 1" between the carpet and the psu enough or should I put my psu fans facing upwards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 8, 2014 If you have a dust filter under the case you will be find, otherwise make it face up "If Everton were playing at the bottom of the garden, I'd pull the curtains." - Bill Shankly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 8, 2014 I have about 1 inch of space in between. Is that enough? You can try it out and if the fan runs nonstop or if it feels hot just flip it.
