Is there something wrong with my new PSU?

That's totally fine. An increase like that would be normal. From what you've described about your PSU, it sounds like normal behavior. If it is a bit warm to the touch, the added temps to your overall system would be explained like that. Anything that heats up the air inside your case will have that effect. What I'd recommend would be a second fan on the front of your case to pull that fresh air in and another fan on the top slot of your case pushing out. That would probably be a rather big impact on your temps.

 

Additionally, I'd 100% recommend an aftermarket cooler for your CPU. That'll help too! Noctua makes some great stuff that fits in just about everything.

It's a PSU with a fanless mode that's only going to spin based on the PSU temperature, not the PC temperature. That's why I have my concerns.

 

Yup, I would assume if its getting that hot it would spool up at some point, but I have no idea what internal on the PSU decides that or how buried that sensor is.  Is the heat enough to degrade the PSU (faster than normal, lets say)?  My only other thought (which I do not like high temps at all and would change out the case myself) is that once he posts a SS of the inside of his PC a fan orientation may be suggested to help evacuate the air quicker so these hot spots don't develop

Yesterday i bought this psu and i found out that it gets pretty hot when i put my hand on it in my pc case, which is just a regular/old pc case with 1 be quiet front fan and 1 arctic rear fan.... im concerned that something will go wrong with my new pau which i bought yesterday... also when i put my hand at the back of my pc i can almost feel no air blowing out of my psu.. and yes the fans do spin... the temperatures seem to be normal while gaming, maybe just a bit higher-3degrees higher. Should i get a new case or am i fine?

does the case have vents for the PSU on the outside? If it does, the fan points towards that side. Otherwise it should face the internal components.

At the back side it has vents designed for psus.. like a regular case. And the side panel has vents too... but thats probably nothing for psus.. sorry for bad english.

And the psu get warm only while gaming when idle its not... but thats where the psu fan is already spinning but it gets hot anyways
