I have a lot around the internet for a clear answer and I have not been able to find one. My PSU idles between 41-50c depending on the season, and runs at 69-75c when gaming. I accidentally blew up my last psu after not researching enough on how many watts it can put out before shoving a GPU in accidentally setting the graphics to ultra and playing Shadow of Mordor for about 4 hours at which point it put on a lovely little fireworks show, dying, frying my motherboard and damaging my cpu which in total cost $350 to fix, because I also don't have a second computer to test which hardware is broken so I had to get a shop to do it for me. Wanting to avoid the massive pain in the arse (I couldn't play any games for 3 weeks and 2 of those weeks were over the school holidays) and wallet again, I do not want to blow up another psu. What temperatures are acceptable for my psu and what can I do to cool it down. My case is pretty small and I have an intake fan on the front panel and space for a fan on the back panel. Also by "rated for 50c" does that mean max ambient temp of 50 or psu temp of 50
