How hot? Got a thermometer?

And make sure the fan is working in it.
 
Dust is another big factor, as well. Same as anything else, if the components of the PSU get covered in dust, they can overheat.
 
Keep it as cool as possible.
If you feel it is too hot replace it asap.
The temp you describe is too hot.
