Hi just baught a new PSU , a antec smartpower 500 watt(it wasnt my first choice but was desperate). my old one antec neo 480 fried, and took out my trusty old 120 wd(of 4 yrs) Harddrive. Now running two instances of prime it hit's 54c! It say's its rated upto 50c. Or is that what it operate's at running at 500watt's,then anything after it start's to lower power watt's? My old antec was hot to, but I figure it was dyeing on me.. also it's pretty cool in my room I'm worried about summer time.
 
what kind of airflow do you have going through the case? if all the heat is rising and being exhausted by the PSU fan, its artificially raising temps and is detremental to the life of all your components...
 
sorry guy's but I learned that temp3 on speedfan isnt the Psu, I thought it was:) so thks for the reply's.
