Which way is the PSU oriented? 

Does your case have a vent for the PSU to breathe?

CSM holds up to heat decently.

However you could always just orient it fan up.

If there's no meshing or anything for it to breathe fresh air, then yeah it's not advised.

 

Are you opposed to modding your case a bit? You could cutout a hole for the fan to breathe, similar to how linus did with his entertainment center mod. Then cover that with a mesh screen or a fan grill so that it doesn't look out of place.

 

Generally speaking though, you really shouldn't need to bother with all this. How hot is your CPU running?

It already has a vent for PSU on the top.

 

 

As long as the PSU is facing fan up (refer to pic in above post)
