does PSU Orientation Matter? like the fan facing up or down,

Usually your case has instructions on the direction the PSU fan should face.

I'd only flip the psu if case temps were too high and I had no other cooling options.

fresh air every tiem

>>58494338
faced down because mine has its own dust filter and the psu's cooling is separated from everything else.

>>58494338
Up if you want it to choke on the hot air your GPU shits out.
Down if you want to keep it working and dust-free.

I just flipped my PSU today after my computer kept hanging. I was convinced it was some faulty windows driver until I looked at the event log, which told me hardware failure was responsible. A disk check and memory check came up with nothing, so I took out my PSU, blasted it with an air compressor to get rid of the dust, and put it back facing down.

Turns out, the thing was overheating in Australian summer, with the dust exacerbating the problem. In addition, my GPU was blowing right into it, making both my GPU and PSU overly hot.

the moral to the story is, face it down you morons.

what is making you ask this?

I put it backwards if the PC is located on carpet, or if the cabling is really short or fucked up somehow.

You can either cool your psu with warm case air, or flip it down and cool it with cool outside air.

Hot. Air. Rises.
