So, i have a Corsair Cx430w and i just noticed that is heating up when gaming. I can actually feel the heat coming out of the case. I don't know if it's normal, i noticed it now and i'm a little worried, if you place your hand over the case it's really warm but not on the sides or back.

My specs: i3 4130t
4gb ddr3 1333
gtx 750ti 1gb
500gb 7.200rpm hd

 
Solution
it's totally normal, it's designed to exhaust the heat and keep working.

How are the temps of you GPU/CPU? If they're fine, you're OK.

Hey thanks for the quick answers. My case is the size of a shoebox so the power supply is on the top side. I've bought this psu a while ago and just realized the heat that is coming out of it. In any case, i had a little trouble with the cpu temp and had to buy a new cooler, didn't had any other problems since. All the temps are under 40ºc.
Thanks again for all the answers.

Now if anyone would show me how to close this thread...
