i was just looking at power supplies. and came across something i must have never noticed before. i was looking between the Rosewill 750 watt hive, and capstone supply. the capstone's rating is @ 50 degrees celcious, and the hive is @ 40 degrees celcius. which seems contradictory to what i would think. knowing that heat is the arch enemy of electronics, wouldnt i want one that is rated at a lower temperature? the hive is about $10.00 cheaper and rated cooler. or is that rating the maximum temperature the power supply will reach before shutting down? in which case, why wouldnt i want one that shut down at a cooler temp?
