kersalaam Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Hey. I recently replaced the manufacturer's PSU with a Corsair HX520W -- everything hooked up well, I tidied the cables and so on. Powers up fine, but the PSU is so hot it can be felt through the top of the case. I also can't feel any air coming from the fan. I'm a little ashamed to say I'm not actually sure what most of my components are in my computer, but it was a prebuilt store-bought one which is at least three years old. Any help?

Yellowbeard Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Look at the back of the PSU by the power cable. Can you see the fan spinning? Do you feel warm air being exhausted out the back of the PSU grill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EliteKiller Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 You may want to consider adding some (additional) quiet intake and exhaust fans inside of your case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
