Computer components get very warm/hot even under no load
Hi, i've got my economy into place and things are working out for me right now, i have upgraded m desktop with a Be quiet pure power l8 630W with 30A on the 12v rail v1 and 30A on the second rail, it is more than enough to power the GTX 660 from asus i got for chrismas, I also changed out the chassi fan to a fractal design silent series 92mm fan, i got an adapter to get it to 12V becouse my motherboard bearly gives out 5V and thats not enough, But the box says it should give max 12,5dB and my fan is giving a lot more than that, so i put it down to 5V becouse it was too loud, i modified the case a bit and put the 80MM fan i was going to put on my cpu but if i remove the fan from the motherboard and use an exernal power source the computer will freak out becouse the cpu fan is "broken" or removed so the computer will shut down, so i put the fan in the front of the case, i now got a fair amount of airflow, but its not enough, the power supply gets very hot to the touch and the gou, well, it gets hot but it is like it should, its even factory oc'd so yeah it will run somewhat hot,
the case is very small and the airflow to the psu and gpu fans are poor,
I will get the Fractal design r4 case for my birthday but if this situation is critical i will buy it like now and get a 1TB SSHD for my birthday in febuary,
I just got skyrim too so i will put a lot of stress on the computer, is this a bad thing to do becouse of how hot the psu gets?
