Comment on Optimal PSU fan placement
Sparky@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month agoThe original exhaust was at the bottom roughly where the green square is. Since the psu is mounted vertically and I’m designing a new top plate I was thinking it might be a good idea to mount the fan at the bottom so the it could be using convection to its advantage.
Here’s how the exact model psu looks like Image

Are you 3D printing a new top plate for the psu? Remember that the steel housing also functions to contain the emi generated from the psu components. You could end up increasing electrical noise for other components if your new top plate isn’t conductive and grounded.

I didn’t think of that. Thanks for pointing that out! I guess I can cover the inside in aluminium foil tape to stop the electrical noise
