PSU: Top or Bottom?

Bottom means lower center of mass. Much more stable.
Kayden Ross
Usually top, but bottom is good if she's up for it
David Robinson
I have only seen the top configuration on old cases.
Unless you buy the cheapest one you can find today, you will get a bottom mount one.
Camden Howard
>she (male)
Dylan Hernandez
bottom, psu temp will be much lower
Jonathan Diaz
Bottom. Top tends to fuck with large heatsinks, radiators, or AIOs. If it doesn't disrupt that it can be good for airflow, but meh. It's an older style and less compatible with current enthusiast trends.
Nice.
Joshua Gray
part of the design for PSU's since the P4 and Athlon Thunderbird is to have heat drawn out of the machine through the psu. Heat rises, thus having the PSU at the top makes sense.
Anthony Kelly
Also this. PSU efficiency drops with heat. The system power draw will increase if you pump all your component heat through the PSU.

Thomas James
well played.
Landon Taylor
Top, its better to have the electrons to flow naturally faster from top to buttom
Jordan White
Fan up or down?
Carson Hall
I prefer up, but it's not a deal breaker if it's down as long as there's an air filter under it.
Josiah Brooks
Top and bottom. I think the Roswill Rise adnd some other cases are dual psu
Henry White
Bottom with fan facing down
Jacob Rogers
The fan is the intake. Take a guess if you want hot air from the case or cool air from outside.
Leo Carter
>Heat rises, thus having the PSU at the top makes sense.
This meme isn't true in cases with fans. A single fan completely overrides convection.
Jack Richardson
More dust, though. If you have proper ventilation, the air inside the case shouldn't heat up much, either.
Lincoln King
Bottom so it doesn't crush everything if I happened to not secure it correctly
Elijah Lee
Top in a low performance PC so you can get away with only one case fan or none at all
Bottom in a high performance PC
Front in an ITX PC
Matthew Robinson
Bottom is shit if your PC is on the ground.
Aaron Rodriguez
If the case is on the floor, bottom PSU/fan down will suck in a lot of dust.
Benjamin Garcia
wtf does yours levitate?
Asher Jackson
Hot air always moves up
Samuel Hernandez
Not of you use an anti dust PSU
Adrian Bennett
>NVIDA
Alexander Thomas
what if you have anti-psu dust?
Christian Hill
Dam
Jaxson Nguyen
You obviously get an anti-anti-psu dust psu then.
Jackson Clark
But Sup Forums tells me to only get 500W 80 bronze.
