The problem of bottom mounted power.
Bottom mounted power supply carpet.
If your case is resting on carpet consider placing it on a hard flat surface instead.
This fan works as an intake fan for the psu that sucks in air and blows it on the components inside the psu where then it exits from the rear vents of the power supply.
But if you don t have the computer on a carpet the bottom mount issue there is gone.

Bottom mounted psu vs top mount.
Almost all the modern day standard atx power supplies come with a 120mm fan that is mounted on the top bottom side.
The 200r is a solid budget case and it s got the bottom mounted power supply with the fan filter at the bottom so it can have it s own intake too.
Being placed at the top of the case a power supply could.
When it comes to top mounted i m sure there will be cable management problems with managing the 8 pin cpu header so it looks neat but aside from that as long as the case doesn t suck it should be okay.
This will help prevent the psu intake fan from sucking in carpet fibers and helpless dust bunnies caught in the crossfire.

When intel designed the atx form factor the power supply fan was designated as the primary case fan.
