Hello,
I got an old case CFI (i dont know exactly the full name).I was using my pc for some hours and after that i shut it down.The i check my psu and it was hot.The next day i remove one of the case panels in order to check if my psu will get hot.So i use my pc more hours than the previous day , then i shut it down , check the psu and it was n't hot.
Should i keep the panel off my case?
Thanks for your time :D

Assuming the PSU is mounted in the top with the fan facing towards the CPU then it's going to be acting as you only exhaust fan aswell as heating up under its own load.

Every case I've ever seen has a exhaust port for a 80mm fan at the absolute minimum.

You should get one put in there
