The Fractal Torrent and Torrent Compact have been really well received but one thing I haven't seen anyone talk about is the top mounted PSU.
Given the PSU's fan would be sucking in the heat from inside the case produced by the GPU and CPU, wouldn't it run the risk of getting damaged or operate at higher RPMs and hence be noisier too?
Or is the case built in a way where this is not a concern? I'm wondering because I read this was the very reason why PSUs started being mounted on the bottom, as more modern CPUs and GPUs started producing a lot more heat than in the past.
What are your thoughts?
