Psu replacement question
Hello friends, I have a dell optiplex 790 with a psu that has a rear mounted fan (by the plug) when I install a new psu should the fan be facing inwards (towards the motherboard) or outwards (towards the case) the psu is mounted in the top left corner by the way, thanks

Mini Tower can use standard EPS12v PSU EVGA 700BR or equivalent.
Smaller models cannot use this inside the case because its too big.

new psu can only be mounted to case rear side in one orientation because standard mounting hole spacing is not symmetric. you can not flip the psu upside down to mount it. aftermarket psu fan is typically intake and rear side of psu has grill for heat exhaust.

CORSAIR CX750M V2 CP-9020154-NA 750W ATX12V v2.4 / EPS12V 2.92 80 PLUS should be fine.
