Im seeing that the PSU's these days have their fan facing down, When I installed it in the PSU area, the fan is facing down, Is this normal?

The direction the fan on the PSU is facing doesn't really matter. There is no wrong way to mount the PSU. I personally prefer the PSU mounted with the fan facing down so it gets access to its own fresh air supply instead of using air that's already in the case.

You can pu the PSU fan up or down. Fan up will cause it to intake air from near your gpu and that will cool gpu while increasing PSU temps. Fan down will make it intake air from outside of case through the bottum vent and make PSU run cooler.

The manual never stated how to position it, but that is how I have mine with the fan facing down through the bottom vent.

Yes. This is an improved thermal design which isolates the power supply's airflow from the rest of the computer components. The power supply will pull cool air in through the bottom vents and blow warm air out the back of the case. This prevents the dust and heat from inside the computer from passing through the power supply.

We own a tower PC, but the fan slides into a slot in the tower n I can't see what's the difference between one unit from the other! The fan is just a fan! So why would it matter...it's only cooling the unit when on n I doubt the fan care whether it's connected to either systems. If I'm wrong, first check with the computer company if your so concerned. Ok

In the overview it says the fan turns off when not needed. The powersupplies does not put out the heat others do. Best bet for better ansewer go to the Amazon site under the Corsair HX Professional series 750, and look in the overview it will go over it better than I can. THanks for wrightting. Randy PS I relay like mine a lot.

Make sure that there is a good airflow. I installed an extra fan in the side of my PC and so far its good. Cases with PSU on the bottom seem to have more issues with overheating if psu is blowing inside

Ya. Power supplies and cases are fairly universal nowadays when it comes to screw layout. This has the ability to to be mounted to the bottom, just flip it so the fan goes out the bottom of the case if it has a vent underneath the spot the power supply is on. If not just keep the fan on the top.

Hopefully, you have air slots or vents in the hotter components. If you have air vented slots on the sides and bottom, mount the fan below, if you have vented slots on the top, mount the fan unit above to draw the heat away. If you have room in the rack to space the components from each other, that is best. It is a little noisy, but works well. If you can, put the fan closest to your most critical component that is effected by heat

Yes it is as quiet as can be expected...usually the noise generated from a PSU fan is the bearings starting to wear...we had a great experience with this fan...hope this helps..

As long as the power supply is installed so the fan is facing down; you're good to go. I've used an Swiftech AIO water system on top for the cpu and fans throughout. No problems.

bro, it has to do with the fan. the fan is a standard 140mm fan. it is as loud as the 140mm fan installed. The stock fan is loud yes. But you can turn it down. The nzxt green led fan I have installed as well is not loud at all tho

Not the fan, the heatsink. My heatsink did. I took it off, and using my own, but probably not a big difference.

Yes it has been fixed at least in the one I bought. No whine or any noise for that matter, sometimes I wonder if the fan even works. This is truly the best power supply I have ever owned and it is extremely efficient. I noticed a 32Watt drop in power usage after in installing it. Migrated from a PC-Power & Cooling PS measured by Kill-A-Watt.

Mine does, either downwards or upwards, I don't remember exactly (haven't used it since the summer). It's because the adjusters on the side get a bit loose over time as the fan is functioning. It didn't bother me. It only happened after several days (very slowly, that's what I mean).

Mine is currently red Led's shining out the side with the stock white fans in the front. Everything else has been replaced with cougar vortex fans. Going to replace the front white fans for black cougars soon for the better airflow and near silence. When it's done it will be a white case with red and black accents. Check out xxtoranachxx profile on overclock.net for pics.

Whenever using ANY power supply, there is always gonna be some warmth/heat coming from the unit regardless of whats connected to it. This is perfectly normal. Now if its HOT to the touch, that is not good. Replace immediately. Hope this helps. Be safe ....Chris.

Stock :).. if not then u can always place the fan alittle higher or behind it and let it pull instead of push... or get the corsair liquid cooling etc..

I've only had mine for a few weeks now, but what you're describing sounds like a fan issue. From the looks of the internal pics on here (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61A0j-QpddL.jpg), you'll likely need to remove the top cover to get to the areas where the fans are, as they sit between a coil and the heat sink. Worst case, they look like standard computer fans, so just replace them all with better fans.

I saw others said is on the left. In my case when I face the fan it is on the right side about 2 inch from the bottom. But it is on the side of the fan .Not front
