If you put the empty side towards the top of the machine, that works first try 95% of the time. For desktops, the top of the machine is motherboard side up.
That only works if the pc is laying on the long side; most modern pc cases are made to stand only on the short side; kind of a bummer for people like me that still have a desk made to have the pc under the monitor
That is what I meant. With desktops that are short side down, the motherboard side with the CPU socket, PCIe slots, etc. should be considered as upwards
Oh right, sorry i didn't realise you had already wiritten it.
No worries, I probably could have worded it better anyways
Yeah but cant you just remember the orientation of your USB porta after having used them for a couple of years?
