fleshmountain Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I'm in the process of building a new rig and I have purchased your HX1000W, I am installing it in a Silverstone TJ10 which feature the PSU space in the bottom of the case. Is it OK to run the PSU ''upside down'' so I have the inside fan facing the motherboard. I first tried installing it ''right side'' way with the fan facing down towards the bottom (there is a grill in the bottom of the case) however the holes to secure the PSU to the case don't align that way, they do however when I turn it upside down. Is it ok to run it this way or will I damage it once I turn the power on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Elf Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I've got the Silverstone TJ10 and have my HX620 with the fan facing down. If you look at the back of the case you'll see there's alternate 'holes' you can use. They're not actually holes but cutout's in the frame and they do support the PSU properly. You can use it upside down though. It just means it will be sucking in warmer air than if you have it the other way round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 11, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 11, 2008 You can mount any of our PSUs upside down. As long as there is a little bit of space underneath the PSU, there should not be any reason to mount it with the fan facing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Elf Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Just to add, on the TJ10 there's actually a grille at the bottom of the case under the PSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
