Thermaltake Smart SE 530 Questions

[Pestindahouse]

Planning to buy a SE 530 in a few hours. Or a CX 500 Corsair. Don't know much about PSUs. Which one of them can mount i the upper part of the case. I know the CX can,but i haven't found the thermaltake. Help me please. Thank you.

Hi Pestindahouse
There are much better quality PSU's out there than either of the two you are planning to buy ,
I would suggest buying a PSU from
seasonic (xfx- made by seasonic ) or any PSU from the corsair TX , AX , Or HX range of power supplies
What is your case ?
It should take a standard atx PSU but need to know the case to be sure

I found an article about fan positioning on a thermaltake PSU. It mounts with fan down even when placed on bottom of the case. So fan down, works on top of the case too. And i'm going for Thermaltake since i need to replace my little bro's psu *1st of june today , and seasonics are out of stock.

most standard atx PSU's can be turned upside down so the fans draw air from inside the case and exhaust out the rear of the case and the screw mounting holes will still line up
