Psu shroud

[Min]

Do you prefer case with or without it ? I personally prefer seeing everything in case including psu, what's your opinion

[_I_]

larger better built cases often have it now
but its not completely needed

it does separate airflow between psu and mobo/gpu, so the psu is taking in cooler air

I have the shroud, lot neater with cable management. Most modern cases tend to have that anyway.

I would prefer one without. Because from my experience case designers never built a PC, so they have no idea where to put the cutouts.

How so? My psu fan is facing up and it never went above 45C, fan never turns on.

You could have good cable management and not need a shroud. There are "cable tubes" that will put all the cables in a flexible tube to make it look clean

I personally don't like psu shrouds since they seem to get in the way of me trying to make the cables look neat.

I like it for aesthetic reasons. Sure, it makes messing with the PSU cables a pain, but it is worth it since I do it so rarely.
