Re: Power Supply Getting Hot
Hi, and welcome to TSF!
 Before we continue, what case do you have? Have you tried running the computer with the side panel off?

Re: Power Supply Getting Hot
You need to really list your complete specs including the brand name and wattage of the power supply.

Re: Power Supply Getting Hot
Tumble is 100% right. Put the system back to stock speeds and let us know what cooling fans are installed, where they are installed, and what direction they are in.
