krishcanag Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Hello I am new to this forum. I want to buy a HX 620 PSU and looking at what case is best for it. I want to be able to overclock CPU, GPU later, but initally just looking to build a fast PC for gaming without the overclocking. I have considered antec P182 and other bottom fitting PSU cases, my question is; If a HX 620 is to be fitted at the bottom, looking at pictures for P182 and HX 620 you will have to fit with the fan facing up, but then the lettering on the PSU will be upside down, ie., PSU is technically upside down. Will this affect the correct quite operation of the fan given then it is fitted upside down? Or am I mistaken, ehich I doubt looking at HX 620 pictures regards krishan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 29, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 29, 2007 You can mount the case at the bottom right side up, just as long as there is room for air to flow under the PSU, and it is not sitting flush with the bottom of the case.

krishcanag Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 ok ramguy, understand but I have also seen one case that you can only fit the PSU vertically (not common) so from that and you haven't mentioned if it will acutally will make any effect on vibration, noise or lifespan of the fan if it was fitted upside down so that the fan was facing up (this is assuming there is not enough clearence fitting it with the fan facing down). The other question can you power of a computer PSU without any load to check outputs prior to connection to mobo, etc. If you can then I could just turn it around and see if the noise is more. regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlesjamison Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I have seen the HX 620 with the power supply mounted with the writing up right. You can see a picture of the P182 and HX 620 posted at http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1186892. Their are other pictures posted but you should see your planned configuration. I have a P182 with a termaltake 1200 watt power supply and I decided to mount mine upside down in terms of the writing. The decission was made based on power switch an plun in my case. The HX 620 looks like it has plenty room in the P182. I had to remove one of my fans to fit my 1200 watt power supply at the present time due to its length. I highly recommend checking all power supply wires from any manufacture for missing grommits to protect wires to main motherboard even if it is modular power supply. I have seen four power supplies with this same problem. I expect this this will not answer your question but hope it helps you out until rma guy answers your question if you can invert power supply.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 31, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 31, 2007 As long as the case is ATX, then there shouldn't be a problem installing the 620HX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlesjamison Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 krishcanag, You can look at 7th picture down for P182SE and 12th picture P180. I think the case size are about the same. Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
