PSU fan loose?

I said my PSU was making a rattling noise. Some people thought it was the PSU vibrating against the case, but it isn't.

I took the PSU out of the case, and noticed the noise only happens when the fan grating is facing down.

Now here's my question:
Is it safe to have the PSU in my case with the fan grating facing the top of my case? There is about 1 - 1.5 cm between the PSU and the case.
Is this ok, or will there be overheating problems?
