Wow I never thought I would be asking a stupid question like this but, wich way do you put the PSU in, I have it upside down where the fan is on the bottom, is that right?
 
Unless you've got a vent in the top, that's what I would suggest.

Also, make sure that you've got the PSU oriented so that the cables are going into the case and the connection to plug it into the wall is facing outside. 😉
 
I'm just joking around. Most PSUs I've had had three fans, unless you have an opening on the top of your case back by the PSU you should install it like this.

I have a similar PSU, with only one fan and the only way to have it that makes sense is facing inward, it sucks air near the heatsink area and pushes it out.
 
Well there should be a big label showing the specs of the PSU on the side. If you put it on upside down, then you can't read it...
