Check if they are too close to each other. The heat might have no where to go. Also check if you accidentaly OC'd them or amped the volts on the cpu or graphics cards since that would increase the temperature. And if you see a solution or a sort of guidance that helped you, feel free to select "solved/or answer"

Best of luck

1200w is way overkill. 600 or 750 should be fine. It might be overheating because its such a monster. You might need more fans, or you have terrible airflow. I recommend selling the 1200 and getting maybe 750W psu. Then getting more fans and improve your airflow. If its the psu RMA it. Try my suggestions.

1. Check fans. 2. Check airflow. 3. Sell the 1200W and get 750W instead (might be
Generating to much heat). 3. RMA the psu if it's faulty.. Fans are always a good choice but they shouldnt reach those temps. Hope this will fix it. Might be many things

Is your computer getting too warm or is it just your room? Understand that all power consumed by your computer becomes heat and that heat ends up in your room.

The AX1200i is quite efficient so even at peak power draw it is going to be dumping out less heat than even one of those 660 TIs, those are going to be your main source of heat.

It's not the room. Back when I played Xbox and Playstation it never got that hot. It is most likely the 660 Ti's, then. Thanks for the advice everyone. I will probably water cool the gpu's or upgrade them.

I can't be sure. I'm going to see if they are overheating tomorrow. They might be in the space between both of the slots.

They may be too close to each other. They are OC'd, but barely. It's an Asus OC model.

Have you checked the fans? Iy might just be a bad model.. If you have bad airflow the case will fill up with warm air and increase the temps. Most of the fans should be pushing air outwards while about 1/4 or 1/5 of the fans should be an intake.
