Hey, I just switched out my 295W PSU with a new 450W one... and when I booted up I got a notice in the BIOS saying "power fan abnormal". Now In my PC I have a side fan and a CPU fan.. but my BIOS lists this "Power Fan" as well. What is a Power Fan, and am I ok?

I opened up my pc and put a office fan on the side of it just in case... rith now my temps are 30-35C for CPU and 26C for the case.

Any comments are appreciated. Thanks.

I should note that before I put the desk fan on the side it was posting 40-43C for the CPU.. the case temp was 29-30C. ...I'm not sure of what they were before I changed PSUs.'
I'm running a Sony Vaio pcv-rs 320.
