Title: PSU reaching 42c
Post by: saint_hades on January 05, 2009, 07:16:30 AM

Hi
my psu seems to be reaching very hot temperatures (43c when I'm playing computer games and 32c when I'm just surfing the web).
The PSU came with a monitor that tells you the temperature of certain parts (Hard drive, graphics card, PSU). Everything the monitor is cool, but the PSU is always hot.

So I'm wondering if there is a way of keeping a PSU cool.

Also it cools down if I open the window, but that freezes me too, so I don't really do it

If the CPU is the one in your sig those temps are within range...
DLoad speedfan for a 2nd set of readings.

speed fan says the same as Ptuner (the software that came with my power supply)

So those temperatures for my PSU are ok

Thanks

Set the BIOS alarm for 50c...if you have that option on that MBoard...
Although 50c is still OK i like to know ahead of time.
