I can't figure out where to put in the Corsair 750TX. I mean i don't know if the fan is facing upwards or downwards. IF the way i have is right i can't find where to put the 4th screw in. Only have them in corners like this

x x

xi HAVE em in those corners. Doesn't seem to be one in the bottom left.

Ill get the pictures as soon as they load. Taking a while.

I can't see how else it would go in. Is that the bottom of the case? looks like an unusual place for the power supply. They are normally at the rear to or bottom front.

so the intake is on the top below the video card? If so that should be fine, just make sure you have a decent fan up the top of the case to take the heat away from the cpu.

i think it's fine to have the fan facing toward the inside of your computer, that way, the 4 screws should line up

The psu fan needs to be pointing toward the floor. This is why the psu will suck air away from the gpu causing it to choke it some. Thats why there a vent on the bottom of the case for the psu to draw cool air all the time.

That is a Cooler Master 690 Mid Tower Chassis, I have the exact same case, the fan faces downto intake fresh air through the vent at the bottom, that's why the case has rubber feet, so it can clear where it is and intake air. Don't place the fan facing upward, you'll just be intaking hot air from the case.

ya i know it would be a bit better to have the fan facing a vent connected to the outside but i don't think it would hurt that much by position it upright. If the case is good with enough air going through, i highly doubt the PSU would overheat. besides, all the new graphic cards are venting the heat to the back of the case rather than releasing it into the case so that shouldn't be a big problem

This is true. My bottom video card overheats if the PSU fan is on top. The fans just compete for air...
