We Live For The One We Die For The One

From what i read the top most part of your case is the best place mine
is one notch down and i have two 80mm fans at the top.

Anyone placed the PSu where mine is and then up the top and monitored
if the temp changes any, going to place my at the topmost part of my
case and see what happens and the two 80mm fans bellow it :)

Any thoughts.

Thanks.

If you have exhaust fans in addition to the one(s) in PSU, it makes more
sense to me to have them "in line" with the intake fan(s) so the airflow
goes more directly over your CPU.

If Power Supply and other exhaust fans are at top of back of case, normally
intake fans on Front are placed At The Bottom, not In Line with the Exhaust
fans! This achieves air flow over the motherboard.

Yes, I went back over the original post I was replying to and I can barely
make sense out of it. I guess I was commenting on the strange idea of
moving the power supply lower down, which I don't understand.
