Hi everyone, I got a AX1600i and will be building my new system over the weekend, however I am unsure of the best mounting orientation (and fan mode) for my use case.
I would like to use the hybrid fan operation. Should I mount the PSU facing up or down?
The case is Meshify 2XL by fractal. It has a dust filter on the bottom. However, it might be possible to mount it with the fan facing up as the shroud is not completely sealed (photo: https://www.fractal-design.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Standard-Studio_Meshify2XL_Black_TGD_Standard_7.-Left-Front-Above_wo_left_side.jpg).
The case won't be sitting on a carpet.
The ax1600i will power a ryzen 9 5950x in combination with a 3080 Founders Edition. I suspect around 600w usage overclocked and at full load so I doubt that the fan would even start most of the time.
Should I be worried about hot air being trapped inside with the fan not spinning (in case of face-down mount)?
Thanks!
