I have an NZXT Lexa S case, the PSU sits at the bottom of the case. Which way up does the PSU go exactly, because I think I may have mounted mine upside-down. At the moment I have mounted mine so that the fan is pointing upwards towards the graphics card, should it be so that the fan is facing the floor? I have a dust filter on my case right underneath where my PSU sits and that's why I think I have mounted mine in upside-down.
 
If the case has a vent in the bottom for the power supply fan, you can put it either way, would be better if its pointed down to get cooler air. If the case doesnt have a vent in the bottom, then you have to point the fan up.
 
Right OK thanks will bear this mind when I get my new PSU. Yeah there's a vent with a dust filter for the PSU on the bottom of the case.
 
If the case has a vent in the bottom, point it down. The filter is a 50/50 thing, it cuts down on dust, but cuts down air flow too. Your decision if you leave the filter in place or not.
 
Take off filter(if it gets dirty and you forget to clean it,you block the air).

Flip the power supply, so the fan gets cool air from the bottom.
