electronic components heat up. if you place PCB upside down heat will
go into the base of resistors and transistors, etc.. so I wanted to
know if that would be a problem.. a simple 'yes' or 'no' would do.

Most of the thermal energy genereated by losses in a component will sink
in a pcb. Due to conduction in the leads.
And most powersupplies are cooled with a fan so there should be a problem.
