Just how hot are PSU's supposed to get?
I have been trying to get my system temperatures down but have been failing miserably.
Yesterday my cordless mouse started playing up so I moved the reciever, which is sitting on top of the case, and noticed how hot the case was there.
I did some investigating and found that the air being exhaused from the PSU is super warm, while the air exhauset from the HSF and rear case fan is considerably cooler.
It seems the hottest thing in my system is my PSU.
My thoughts are that either -
1. PSU's run hot ayway
2. My PSU is about to burst into flame
3. Because my Mobo sits the PSU right by the CPU socket, the air drawn into the PSU is coming straight off the HSF (AC freezer 7 pro) and is therefore not effectively cooling the PSU.
System specs below
Plus use Hiper type R 580W PSU
