Did I install my PSU correctly?

post #1 of 5

I have the Antec TruePower New TP-750 Blue 750W PSU and Corsair C70 case. I put the fan facing down. I figured this was the proper way, due to the venting and dust filters. Is this incorrect?

It's not incorrect... that's the way the case was designed for.

The orientation doesn't really matter though

Kind of sad now. No LED, but I'm too lazy to flip it.
