Not really sure why, but switched my ocz 650w psu for a 1000w rosewill lightning psu and got higher temps? The rest of my configuration remained the same. 1 200mm top fan, 1 200mm front fan, cooler master hyper 212 +, and the rear 120mm fan. The psu is facing down in my cooler master storm enforcer case. Now with the 650 w idle/load temps were 30-32/45-48. Then with my new psu idle temps are 34C... I know should be good idle temps still. Under load it is 55-58c. Also my gpu temps were 55C with 650 w and now 60C with the 1000w.
my specs
i5 2500k not overclocked

2x4 corsair vengence 1600

sapphire 7950 oc 1050 core 1450 mem
Like I said everything remained the same with the psu switch. I know the 1000w psu case itself is bigger, but would that really raise load temps 10C? Probably within normal temp limits but i am just curious. I swtiched the psu to attempt some future overclocking and going with a crossfire setup potentially. 1000w overkill? yes probably but during benchmarking my fans would dip speed when initiated my gpu clocks. Thanks for your time!
