In “Hybrid” mode
Seasonic recommends to install your
PSU with the ventilation top cover

of the motherboard. This will ensure
natural heat dissipation.
In “Normal” mode
Although the direction of mounting is
optional, it is not recommended to
install the PSU with the ventilation top
cover facing downward if there are
no ventilation holes on the bottom of
the case.
3.3. Flat Desktop-, SFX- or ITX systems
In general, it is recommended to mount
the PSU with the ventilation top cover
facing the motherboard. Due to the
dierent varieties of case designs and
layouts, however, please also consult the
case manufacturer's instruction manual for
additional information.
To learn about the ventilation of your computer
case, please refer to the case manufacturer’s
instruction manual.
