Seasonic X-850 Install

[bare]

Hello,
Doumentation for installation is rather ambiguous. I have an Abee Acubic T20R which is a top mount case. Do I install the PSU with the fan up or down?

Picture of case mounting (in this photo Abee has the fan facing down):

Fan down

actually, there is enough room above for the PSU to source air so it will work fine either way

I would mount it fan down myself

Thank you. I believe part of the PSU bracket will block a small portion of the fan grille, so fan down is probably the best air flow I'm going to get.

The downside is that the PSU is breathing hot CPU air, but almost all cases do this and it does not seem to be a problem.

when I built my custom 4u rackmount case I cut the PSU mount so it would go either way in case I wanted to cut the case side in the future to supply cool air to the AX1200.

but then I folded/mined 100% 24-7 for over 2 years and never had a problem
