Question Just a question about a specific PSU

Im getting confused about this psu
The psu is Cougar gex 850, does its fan blow out air or suck air in?🤔

As far as I know, all PSU fans are intake fans.

 

[Shimada1300]

Should I let the fan side face down or face up?

Whichever direction allows it to pull in fresh air.

Well, both 😅 the bottom part has a mesh screen that allows it to pull air, and the top part of the case also has open area that allows it to pull air from the intake fans. So whats the best to go? 🤔

Darkflash DK351

I would place the fan placing downward to bring in air from the bottom of the case/outside. Placing it up and pulling air from inside the case will lower the cooling a little bit since you'd be pulling slightly warmer air into the PSU.
