    (Woops just noticed this may belong in tech suport if it does can it be moved Sorry :()
    Silly question i got got a Corsair HX1000W

    Not its got a fan on the top, bottum whatever you want to call it from what i can tell the bottum since the text is the right way up on the side when it is arranged that way.

    What i want to no is if it is a intake or output fan so i can arrange it the correct way in my case a Thermal Take Armour Plus, also if it is a intake would it be better to have it on the top of bottum (Facing CPU)???

    Thanks guys in adavance

    (Currently have it facing towards CPU bottum, which i think is correct since the text on the sides is the right way up)

    Cheers Trent

    Intake, it sucks air in and expels it out the little holes where the power I/O switch is.

    And yeah you want it at the top as it'll also take heat away from components, gfx cpu etc below it

    Yeah, the ATX specifications says that PSU fans MUST act as exhaust.

    :O

    I have an Antec Three Hundred (which mounts PSU at bottom) and so my PSU is upside-down, and I have a Corsair TX750 (120mm fan).

    Is it worth worrying about?

    It's still exhausting whichever way up it is.

    True ;)

    However, still a conflict of airflow. I'll have a think about my fans :D
