i just recieved the xclio 450 watt power supply. and i have some questions about installing he power supply. first of all is the 120 mm suppose to face the cpu or the top of the case, if it faces the bottom of the case then i won't see the spec sticker, if it faces the top of the case then i will see the spec sticker. but if i do with the fan facing down then it would be harder to screw. so which way is it. any body have a picture with the same power supply that you can let me see.

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Write down the information on your spec label and then install it. That solves that problem.
You want the fan faceing down into the case because if you turn it the other way its going to run hotter because the top of the case will block its airflow.
