PSU Compatablility with Top Exhaused Fan?

[sciacca_paul]

Looking at buying a Lexa, But I have read reviews about people having to remove the top exhaused fan due to their PSU's being too big?

I was looking at getting a new PSU when I get the Lexa, so which PSU's would fit into the case without having to remove the top exhaused fan?

thanks.
Paul.

P.S I was looking at getting the 500watt or 550watt Antec Neo He.

P.P.S. could anyone perhaps tell me the distance from the back of the case to the fan?

I'm starting to think there needs to be an auotmated responce to this question.

[sciacca_paul]

well could you please tell me?

why cant anyone do searches?
if you do a search on it you will get tons of answers
I dont own 1 but the PSU that I know of that doesnt fit is the Hiper modular PSU

Pretty much any PSU in the standard size range, ~ 150mm W x 150mm D x 86mm H, will fit in a Lexa without interfering with the top fan.

I got a thermaltake toughpower 750w modular and it fits. you have to remove the fan to get the plugs into the top sockets for SLI and peripherals if you want to use them, but once they are in the fan will go back on no dramas

Is there some thinner 80 mm top case fan I can have, its to fat, and blocks one or more of the connectors!

[Coolcity]

Should i remove it huh :?

[bigballa43791]

um its up to u, my PSU is 850 Watts so i took my fan and put it on the bottom, i'm gonna need as much cooling as i can with a 7950GX2 going in

[Coolcity]

Is that longer than the Hiper? That other guy seemed to have fitted it in alright

[bigballa43791]

let me put it this way my 850 watt goes 1/2 through the fan slot

[Coolcity]

What are your case temps?

[bigballa43791]

my system isnt finished yet, i was gonna buy the rest of the parts but i had to pay for plane tickets, my sig is attached to what it's gonna be

eVGA 7950GX2, Hmmm maybe get a XFX one?

Cheers

[bigballa43791]

I'm debating between eVGA and XFX, on one hand XFX has the overclocked card from newegg.com for $609 with a double lifetime warranty, or there is eVGA with the not Oced card with a $30 MIR at the moment with awsome customer support and a lifetime warranty

[Coolcity]

XFX man, you pay a premium for heavy advertising and some OC which you could do yourself. Also I installed another fan in the top like that guy after installing the cables and it fits. Just.
