I don't know, I don't have any scientific proof that it overheats, maybe only the fact that when I put my hand on the case in the area where the psu is mounted it is hot.

computers get hot.

is there an eco mode switch on the PSU? if so, you can try turning it off to see if the fan comes on.

if the fan is never ever spinning, its probably time to replace the psu. like @Chapunna said.

My psu is overheating cause the fan is never runing,any ideas?

 

What make and model?  Are you actually experiencing any issues with the PC that would suggest this is actually a problem?

If your psu overheats it’ll turn itself off.

Not good to assume this when we have no clue if its bargain basement garbage that might have no protection.

It’ll turn itself off one way or another. By overheat protection or by a component failing.

Not the way to test for a problem though, given it could take out the rest of your PC when it does, or burn your house down.

If the fan on the PSU used to run all the time, and is no longer turning on, then the PSU needs to be replaced.
