A little concerned over my system's temps the past day or two. Haven' made any hardware changes, so am not sure what it could be. Here are the details:
Under NO load, it's at 49 C. A month or two ago it was at 38-40 C.
I felt a good amount of heat coming from the top of the tower, so I opened it up and it seemed the power supply was very warm. Safe to touch, but quite warm. I had never even paid attention to the PSU before, so is this normal after several hours or runtime?
I have 1 front intake fan, 1 side fan and 2 rear exhaust fans. Stock intel heatsink/fan.
A couple weeks ago I added a second gig of ram (DDR 400, no overclocking) and heard this would bump the temp up SOME, but wasn't sure how much. Doesn't anyone have any suggestions? I'm a little concerned about leaving it running when it's this hot, but can't shut it off every time i run out for something. Any thoughts would be helpful.
Thanks,
Richard
