Does the unit need to be on a stand with holes underneath it for the fan to have functional airflow? Does the fan go on top or bottom when running?

The fan goes on top of the unit and can sit on the desk as the fan pulls air from the top to the bottom. If only running for litecoin the fan can be removed as it will not get hot.

The unit does not need to be on any sort of stand, and the fan goes on top.

I don't believe the installation instruction specify a figure but more space is better for cooling air flow. More space may allow for less usage of the cooling fan.

Neither. The air does not flow in or out of the PCI case slot. The fan throws the air onto the PCI card next to it. In other words the air flows from the side shown in the picture to the opposite side keeping it all within the case.

Hello Doug,Thank you for your question. The manual states the following:Unit MUST be hung vertically, with the water and gas connections at the bottom and the exhaust at the top.Kind Regards,Ross GadgetsGoP.S. If my answer helped you, please prefer us when you purchase.

It is on the bottom, which holds the laptop off whatever it is setting on. Seems to me that would promote better air flow!

Yes, the air blows out the top of the unit. The exhaust vents are at the back half of the top of the unit. Air flow is quite good, too!

This PSU has the standard bolt pattern, so if your case supports mounting either way then yes. You should consider that the fan is on the top, so if you are going to mount upside down then your case should have proper ventilation for the fan.

The airflow is actually pretty good. You can install two fans on top pushing air out. You can install fans in front pulling air in. There are gaps with vents along the top and in the front that do not look like they allow much flow, but they are just fine. The power supply in this case is installed upside down as there is a vent on the bottom. If you did not turn it upside down, I would recommend it.

There is a spot for one in the bottom, but I don't recommend it as it'd just pull in dust, but I can say that the airflow is really good stock and you don't need any more, the 2 230mm fans move a lot of air and the other 3 just help out. I do recommend however replacing the rear fan as it is the only one that isn't LED.

Did you add the AV cooler? Mine will have a shelf above it about 3-4" so I would want the extra air flow. Any reccomendations?

no and yes. is there a built in mounting point for a fan? no. But i did add one using a scythe slim slipstream (i think it was 10mm thick) and mounted it in the indention in the mesh on the top cover. I drilled 4 holes in the mesh and mounted the fan to that. But i did that using a passively cooled embedded Asus AMD setup so i had room. If you get a cooler running chip and a nice Low profile cooler you should be good without one.

The base is fixed...no holes...that's a new one on me...mount a fan to a wall...why? If the base was mounted to a wall the fan would blow straight down????????????????

I don't keep a fan next to it. I have a ceiling fan I keep on low and an air purifier that runs, so there is air movement in my home. Seems that is all the air I need, it works great that way.

That is where I put it, as high as possible. If you place it low, it will remove all the cooler air and hot air will build up.

I WOULD RECOMMEND CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER TO ENSURE THAT THE FAN COULD BE SAFELY OPERATED ON ITS SIDE. It appears to be designed to be used standing up (vertically). There's a vent that wraps around the back and from side to side.

this is a stand alone unit not meant for enclosure as it needs air circulation

This stand will raise the case about 4 inches off the floor and allow for some air to circulate below the case itself but only part of the bottom of the case will be uncovered by the base of the caddy. If your power supply unit is located at the bottom of your case it will allow sufficient airflow at the back of the case but not specifically from the bottom of the case itself. I hope this answer helps.
