Yes, RMA it, so that you don't have any questions in your mind. The real question is how long with the RMA take you and if it'll be a hassle. I've heard NewEgg can be more of a pain then doing it through Amazon. But that point is moot. I'm guessing it's your only power supply, or else you would have already sent it in. If that's the case, see if they can ship it out to you first before you send in yours for a return. This would possibly require a hold on your credit cad for the value of the power supply but it's probably worth it.

If you're worried about temperatures, then try out a program that'll monitor temperatures for you. Speccy is great for checking on the temperature of most components in your system.
