I'm building a custom computer case, and i plan on removing the casing of the power supply to expose the components so that the case fan can cool the components and the exhaust fan can remove the hot air more effectively (i know removing the casing of a PSU is very hazardous, but i know what i'm doing). My question is, would it be move effective if the fan was blowing directly into the components or should i have the PSU just off to the side, so the air wont be moving directly through it but the air surrounding it will be constantly moving out the case?
I imaging having airflow through the PSU will in theory cool better, but the airfllow will also be obstructed more, so the increased air resistance may offset any thermal advantage.
