So I used to have a cheap 400W PSU that I replaced when I had the chance. I went with a Cooler Master B500 500W PSU, because it was cheap, and it looked good. The installation was sucessful, and I loved the PSU, as it was so quiet, and sounded like the PSU fan wasn't spinning. But after playing games with it, I've noticed that I get way higher temps. Even my WiFI card overheated today (keep in mind, that it's an USB one, and I left it sitting on top of my PC, and my PSU is installed on the top). HELP please.

The fan is spinning, and the case doesn't really have a lot of airflow, but with my older PSU the temps were way lower
