It's been bugging for a couple of days now.
My power supply is getting pretty warm when playing video games or doing intense stuff (rendering etc.). When I'm browsing and doing generally laid back stuff it's just normal, cold. It's not hot but it's rather very warm. The heat is very bearable when I put my hand on top of the case but I have the feeling it's warmer than it should be. The air blowing at the back of the PSU is warm as well. Is there anything wrong with my PSU?
My specs are as follows:
AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz
ASRock 970 Extreme3
Kingston HyperXblu 6GB DDR3 1333MHz
Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 2GB 256-bit Default Clocks
And the power supply I'm using is a Corsair VS550 550W, 85% Efficiency.
So, is this heat abnormal and something I should worry about or it's just normal to get this warm with this type of PSU (because I'm aware it's not a great PSU but it's not a cheap one either)?
