I have a temp problem with my PSU, because my new PSU has it's fan underneath and is bassically sucking the air into it from the inside of my computer case (if you get what I mean), when I touch it its very hot, If I open up the case the PSU cools down very little after a while, do I have to have my PC case open all the time, is this temp normal, touch yours and tell me.

Thanks
 
PSU's have to suck air from inside the case, then they exhaust it through the back. But if the air in your case is very hot, then i would try to get some stronger case fans to cool it down.
 
lol well their is your problem most people atleast have 1-2 fans most gamers have about 3-4 and sometimes even liquid cooling... but the thing is that you need something inside your case to keep it some what cool... no wonder your psu is hot
 
1 (noisy) fan installed, maybe I'll take the case to some metal morkers and they'll cut another hole in the side for fan no. 2

Your case should have at least one spot for a fan in the back, and at least one in the front. Most cases have 1-2 in the back, and 2 in the front.
 
ok it has room for 2 more fans in the front but theres a plastic thing in front, the only way it can come off is if I breat it...

I think that's pretty much just a holder for the fan, with those you don't have to use screws to install a fan.
