I've got this antec 350 and it has 2 nice fans cooling it off.


Question.

The power supply has a fan that blows it's hot air directly on my heatsink. It doesn't seem logical to have the fan blowing hot air into the case like that.

Any comments on that?


I wonder if i could mount the psu upside down and cut a blow hole in the top of the case. lol.

To tell you truth, I dont think its that much to worry about, unless of course your temps are unusually high. WHat are your CPU an Case temps anyways?

The only way I would consider worrying, is if under load your temps are higher then:

CPU - 51C
Case - 36C

Other then that, you really dont have to worry that much.

Case temp =32c
cpu=48c loaded 43 idle.

I just think it's a silly idea to blow hot air into the case like that.
