[SOLVED] power supply fan facing up gap question?

[raptorengineer]

i preordered video card and i also pick up evga 500 watt power supply to go with it. now my current power supply is 460 watt and how it mounted is fan is facing up to top inner case. my pc is hp envy phoenix so the power supply is mounted on top of the case and not on bottom. anyway if i mount the new 500watt power supply fan facing up would the current gap (1.5mm) be enough or no?

If the gap is that small and there is no ventilation grill at the top of the case , I would face it fan down.

update i got my new rtx 2060 card and turns out the evga power supply can only be mounted fan down cause where the mounting holes for screws on case. but so far everything is running fine.
