So I just got the psu and its works hard with my fx 8320 and r9 290. Just on max load . It is louder then my TV on half volume. It's new , I researched that replacing the fan would help. But what about the plastic inside covering the fan ? Will it help if I remove it?

Thanks a lot . I will see where I go from there.

....keep talking... :p What's a good option of a cooler for my graphics card from "hell".. lol

OK well I guess my other option would be just getting another card. With actually cooling. I'll see if I can get rid of this one. And see where I go from there.

Oh alright since it's normal I guess I should not worry that it goes to 180 degrees.lol and shouldn't damage my computer if it does go that hot at on point.. Probably a recall product? :/
