I just put together a new PC, but I'm noticing it gets pretty warm, specifically coming from my Corsair RM1000i power supply. According to the Corsair Link 4.2 software, the PSU temperature is sitting at 39°C. Is that temperature actually normal for a unit like this, or should I be worried about it being too high?

It's 102 degrees outside, and you're worried about the PSU hitting 102? Isn't electronics supposed to generate heat while they work anyway?
How did you even decide the PC was overheating "because of the power supply"? Is that actually the hottest part?

Just like Michael Jackson10 mentioned, it’s absolutely sweltering outside right now—if your PC isn't sitting in an air-conditioned room, you really can't be surprised by these temps... honestly, though, everything seems pretty normal given the heat.

I honestly think that’s a perfectly normal temperature—nothing to lose sleep over! If you really want to be certain, though, you can always pop into the BIOS and check the specific thermal limits set for your processor.

Actually, the guy was talking about the power supply, not the processor. 🙂
