It is an intake fan. The link does not work. If the PSU is bottom-mounted and the bottom of your case has ventilation for the PSU, face the fan downwards. If it is a top-mounted PSU, face the fan downwards still. In general the fan faces downward, but if the bottom of your case is rock solid you'll have to face it up with a bottom-mounted PSU.

It is alright. The fan sucks air in and blows at the components, and the air exhausts out the back. If there is a filter on the bottom of the case for the PSU, point it down. It will reduce dust I take and,ale it better.

If there isn't s filter, point it up. Or buy a filter for the bottom. You want to reduce dust.

Hmm now I remember. Used for friends build. You want to point it down. The fan takes air form the bottom. It's bottom mounted. It has a filter. So point it down.

It depends on the case. Not all cases have ventilation in the bottom, so pointing it down in that case (pun intended) would be bad.

I used it before. There's a hole with a filter on the bottom. Also says on the site of corsair too.

Oops sorry I totally missed where he mentioned his case in parenthesis XD (my bad).

 

[Ryan_78]

It's alright. I asked a guy for his budget when he clearly said 1000£

 

[darknopror]

yea the case have a filter and have ventilation so i should put the psu facing downwards ok thanks
the photo was basically the main cable the 24 pin one so there is one pin that is empty so is it OK ?

 

[Unolocogringo]

Yes the missing pin is normal now days.
It originally was -12v for legacy ISA cards.
Since no new motherboards have ISA slots it is not needed.

 

[darknopror]

so it is totally normal
my board is gonna be the msi z170 m3

 

[JackNaylorPE]

Fan faces the bottom, top or side of case and sucks air in ... blows out rear where you attach da screws

 

[darknopror]

BTW it has 6 or 8 pin pci/e connector right
do i have to attach it before i plug or
can i basicly just put the 6 pin then add the 2 pin after ?

 

[Ryan_78]

Uh no those go into the GPU.. You out the PSU inside the case and cable manage the wires so that the cables go tot he GPU. You squeeze them together. They go in together. Don't want to force them.

ok ty
