Concerned About Case Heat

One of my case fans broke and now the temperature in my case is noticeably higher than it used to be. My GPU (EVGA 980 Ti ACX 2.0+) is seated above my Power Supply (Corsair CX750M)

The temperatures around my GPU reach 38C under load. Considering how the CX series is supposed to operate at 30C, should I be worried? I have yet to encounter any random shutdowns and all my components are running nominally in terms of temperature.

There is no such thing as excess in hardware.

Hot box system lol

 

Doesn't your PSU have its own grill on bottom so its air is separated from whole system.

How are you measuring that? And could you post pic or diagram showing your fan layout? Which fan was the one to broke?

If you PSU has working fan and its taking air from outside the case, you have nothing to worry about. If PSU takes air from case and is really close to GPU, I would assume GPU temps are bit higher than what they would be if PSU was other way around.
