7 System Cooling Considerations
The power supply fan location allows the system designer to utilize the airflow to help cool critical components such as the processor and chipset. Please note that the fan pulls air from the system, instead of blowing hot air in, so components must be placed such that airflow is directed across critical components. Cables, etc must not impede airflow.
