I see on page 6 at the bottom of the review where you are looking at the capacitors and the fan headers.
"There is also an adjustable POT here which seems to control the rotational speed of the fan. "
which item in the picture is this. That funky thing sticking upward or the little circle with the plus to the left side of the picture. Whichway can i adjust this POT to make my fan speed up so this power supply doesnt get so hot? |
The way the PSU is oriented in the Case will not really effect this. And, the fan is sucking in air, not blowing it up. It will only start to really work hard when the PSU gets hot, so if its not blowing a lot of air out the back then you are okay. The adjustable fan option is cool, but I usually like letting the PSU's Thermostatic control worry about it.
I think, its a cool looking device. But, I'm an ULtra Man, much like people here are Corsair Fans so, I'll stick to what I know best. Until they start failing, I won't worry.
Good Review,
