I currently have a Corsair CX 750M that gets pretty warm. Are there any PSU's that don't get too hot? With summer right around the corner I could use another solution. Thanks
 
The more efficient the PSU, the less heat it puts out. A PSU running on 230V is also more efficient, so if you're willing to go that far, you can get another 2-3% in efficiency.

If you want the absolute best in efficiency, the best one for your system right now is the Seasonic Prime 650w.
 
Any of the good platform platinum+ is going to run pretty cool from inherent efficiency, a lot of them even have an option shut off the fan under a preset load limit. If it is an honest ~92%+ efficient across the board it literally cannot create more than 8% waste heat. For the really nice ones 95% in their ideal load range is not unusual.

Another vote for the prime if you really want the cream of the crop.
