If you're putting it on carpet then have the fan Up, or better yet put a piece of cardboard underneath your case. Otherwise have it down.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

is your PSU intake filtered?

does your case have space under it for airflow?

Really depends but in most cases (heh cases) down. If placed on carpet, up. No filtered intake, up. No intake, definatly up.

No fan I can get to grips with but surely some sort of grille somewhere. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
