Flip that PSU over, shove another white fan in the back and call it a job done inside, Pig. :toast:

Solid offer right there.



If you flip the PSU it also stops you dropping things in to it when you fiddle with your rig. :)

And you don't want to know how annoying it is voiding a PSU warranty to retrieve screw is!

Nice acid! well my new MSI G33M motherboard came in yesterday and it looks good! was reading the manual and i must say with PCIex 2.0, 1333FSB, 45nm support, OC software/bios options, its not bad for a 40$ board.




*EDIT*

Found someones overclocking results for this board and a Q6600. From what ive read its a decent clocker for G33 series boards.

I've soldered on AGP slots onto dell mobos and reflashed the bios and got it working, its possible but not often worth it.

I dont think ill use all 3 sata ports anyways due to the current hard drive i have for the machine is IDE and also the DVD drive is IDE.

Once my CPU comes in (penium D 830), i will be ready to install the motherboard and fire it up in the nostalgic DELL case :) *Operation retro*

If i flip my PSU, i can't have an intake at the bottom. The Modular cables get in the way.

Otherwise, i'd have it the other way round from the start...

My 140mm fan nearly touches my PSU and the modular cables are all on one side. If i was to flip my PSU, i wouldn't be able to plug any cables in because the fan would be in the way. Id rather have my computer working and a fan than just my computer working.

Intake on the floor can cause a fair bit of turbulence actually, have you tried to see what temps are like without?

I'm alright. The fan acts as a good cover for odd cables. Think i'll leave it. It hasn't caused me the slightest bit of trouble so far.. so no change.

My PSU was fine that way to until I dropped a screw inside it by mistake....I soon learned my lesson and flipped it over. :)

Also, going on what most 140's perform like...I'm not sure the one at the bottom makes much difference either way.

Fishing around inside your PSU to find a screw you dropped isnt the best thing to be doing with your stuff. :rolleyes: :slap:


The Lian Li's I have both have "rails" the PSU sits on so you can flip the power supply over and it still sucks in air like normal.




Edit: A tip to avoid dropping stuff down in to your PSU is to place a used Christmas card/similar object over your PSU's fan while you work on your rig. :toast:
