<![CDATA[Norco RPC-230 - Power Supply Airflow]]>Hey!

So I got somebody using the Norco RPC-230 and he is having severe thermal issues, when I check up his box I noticed that his power supply (as mot modern ATX power supply) have the intake fan in the bottom (it may be the top, not sure) and it is being blocked by the case. it seen that the case actually use the PS as main pusher of air into the case.

This as you may imagine cause lot of heating issues with his supply and the disks.

Have anyone use these case (or similar) and have a power supply recommendation that have Front-to-back Air flow? (Supported supply is standard ATX size)

Thanks

PS: my other idea is to make some holes in the case to let Air in, but we would like to avoid that if at all possible.

Can't think of a better option.

Buy a PSU with the fan at the back

Thank you sir, I was aware of that option, My question is if anyone had used the case and have a recommendation on what to get, I was unable to find any good one. There are some 600W upwards, server grade but efficiency seen effy
