Bottom Mounted Power Supply Carpet

I ve seen a couple cases that specifically advertise the bottom mounted psu.

Bottom mounted power supply carpet.

I dont have a power supply for it but will be ordering one soon. I would think this would be a bad idea since heat rises why let it rise up through the interior. When it comes to top mounted i m sure there will be cable management problems with managing the 8 pin cpu header so it looks neat but aside from that as long as the case doesn t suck it should be okay. I did not want the case to sit on the carpet due to dust issues so i bought a lazy susan and mounted that on top of a stand that i was using for my printer and set the case on top of it.

Once you ve located where the psu will sit check the case for any grills or vents directly beneath this location. To figure out whether your psu fan needs to point up or down start by looking over your pc case. Determine where the psu is intended to fit. This is typically at the bottom of the case in most modern chassis designs.

Is there some non obvious advantage to putting it at the bottom. Its like you putting a plastic bag over your head or sticking your nose into the carpet. So i am building a computer that has a case with the features mentioned above and i am probably gonna have to set this thing on the carpet because i am getting a new desk that is most likely too small to support it but i don t know if it is too dangerous to have something that gets that hot near my carpet also i don t know if the carpet will cover the bottom vent and dust shield making it. Is there any advantage for the bottom mounted power supply.

What is the advantage of a bottom mounted power supply. The psu is located on the bottom of the case with the fan facing downward pulling in cool air from the bottom. Also does the power supply going in upside down. No matter how you slice it carpet area rugs are bad for cases with bottom psu intakes it introduces fibers hair skin dust into the fan of the psu thus creates more heat doesnt allow for proper airflow plus increases failure rate of psu and a fire hazard.
