?Higher temps after new PSU

After upgrading my power supply from a Thermaltake 430w to a Corsair TX650W I've seen my CPU and GPU temps increase by 5-10C. Why did this happen?

If anything I expected my temps to be lower with the new PSU as it has a fan on the bottom, while the old one didn't. The old PSU came with my case which has intake and exhaust fans controlling the airflow,Moncler Jacke,Moncler Outlet Online, would the tx650w be interfering with that somehow?

The higher temps forced me to lower my already small CPU overclock as well (2.7ghz down from 2.8 - 2.6 is stock). Fans are working as they were and heat sinks have been recently cleaned of dust,Nike Basketball Shoes.

The old power supply had a rear-mounted 80mm exhaust fan,isabel marant sneaker, while the Corsair has a top/bottom mounted 120mm exhaust fan. This means that the hot air from the PSU is being vented into the case rather than out the back,Nike Shox Nz,Moncler Online Shop, which is one of the few complaints leveled against Corsair PSUs (though practically every other high-end PSU uses this design as well,Air Max Thea Womens, except PC Power and Cooling units).

With only two 120mm fans that case doesn't have very good cooling, so the added heat from the PSU isn't removed very efficiently. Your GPU load temps were already way too high (you shouldn't be going over ~70-75C on most cards) and the CPU temps were uncomfortable to begin with as well.

What would your attitude towards a new case be?

CPU is AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5200+ and according to AMD the max temp for this is around 70C

As for the GPU it's an 8800GTS 320MB and apparantly these can handle upwards of 100C, I have read about someone who phoned nVidia and an employee stated no damage would be done until it reaches 115C - 133C or something.

The highest temps that I've had was 68c for the CPU (OCCT linpack test) and 94-95c for the GPU (Furmark i believe),Air Max 2015, and this was with the old PSU.

I have bunched any unused psu cables to the top right corner of the case to prevent them getting in the way of airflow, is there a chance it's actually the reason for the higher temps? Even though they arn't in the way they might be creating a pocket of warm air etc? I wouldn't know where else to put them. The old PSU didn't have as many cables but could that still be enough to warrant the 5-10C increase?

As for a new case,loui vuitton, how sure are you? I havn't had plans on getting a new case any time soon, and would rather not.

Also, what would happen if I blocked the bottom PSU fan with something to prevent the hot air leakage? Will the PSU overheat? I find it strange this is happening I mean shouldn't it be sucking in hot air and effectively making the system cooler instead?

A quick correction on my earlier post after discussing with other team members,Lebron 9.

Corsair power supplies (and most others) actually suck hot air from the case into the power supply then exhaust it out the back. Your old PSU probably did something similar. The difference is that the Corsair has a temperature controlled fan which means that it will only rev up when the PSU gets very hot. Your old PSU's fan probably ran at full speed all the time,Air Jordan 8,Air Max Light, thus it was constantly taking hot air out of the case and exhausting it out the back. Now your PSU fan is only revving on low, and thus isn't taking as much hot air out of the case, thus your temperatures are higher.

A graphics card *can* go that high without physically sustaining damage (I've had my 4870 up to 100C before during stress testing),Air Jordan 12 Retro, but it shortens the card's lifespan and increases electrical resistance, thus increasing power draw (probably not an issue though, that's a good PSU).

A new case would be the *best* solution, but you could manage with what you have, just fill up any available fan slots, you'll want a strong front-to-back airflow. And blocking the PSU fan could cause it to overheat, it might not but I wouldn't risk it.
