The power supply is blowing into the floor, is this normal?
In general, I bought a Fractal Design case. Inside, everything is new, including the Deep Cool 500W power supply. The power supply is placed from below and I put it with the fan down. He has a grate with a dust collector there. Everything seems to be fine, but for some reason vague doubts torment me, because the system unit stands on low legs on the carpet and the gap is very small. Can you turn the power supply upside down so it blows up onto the motherboard? More precisely, it will then blow on the video card.

Usually, the PSU in such cases does not blow into the floor, but sucks in air from the floor and blows back.
Yes, it would be better to raise it by 2 - 5 centimeters - put something in front and behind under the legs. It's definitely not designed for carpet.
Just like a laptop, it is not designed to lie on a carpet or on a sofa, only on a flat, hard surface.
gap is very small
there are no other ways? for example, make the exhaust back, like normal system engineers. it's just that if he looks down, then due to thermal radiation from the heated floor, heat will get back. and if you do the opposite, then the video card will be heated by an additional heat source, which is not good. hot air should go outside, not walk inside. also, as an option - buy higher legs, well, or saw them yourself.
