Should I be concerned about my power supplies continuous output rated temperature? This is my power supply from Corsair by the way if that helps http://www.corsair.com/en-us/cx-series-cx650m-650-watt-80-plus-bronze-certified-modular-atx-psu-na. I noticed on the tech specs section on the website for this power supply the continuous output rated temperature is rated at 40°c. So what I want to know is what will happen if the power supply temperature goes above 40°c and should I even be concerned about it? I have quite a high end gaming pc build by the way. Here are my specs if that helps.
gpu: GTX 1080 founders edition
cpu: i7 6700
ram: 2x4 2133 mhz ddr4 ram
motherboard: MSI h110m pro-d
hard drive: Western Digital black 1tb 7200 rpm
ssd: Samsung evo 850 500gb
What if I'm playing a game that is intensive on the gpu and cpu and they get hot and therefore the ambient temperature inside the case raises above 40°c and therefore the power supply temperature raises above 40°c? My main question is that should I honestly be that concerned about the continuous output temperature of my power supply going above 40°c? I mean Corsairs top of the top line AXi series power supplies continuous output rated temperature is at 50°c which is only 10°c above my power supply. I'm just afraid that if my power supply goes above 40°c it will reduce the lifespan of the power supply and eventually fail sooner than expected. I'm very concerned about this because I like to play games on my pc but I don't want my power supply to over heat and die and possibly take other components with it to. Please help. Thanks.
