Hello to all,bought new PC and its about a month old so my question is -is it okay for the PSU to feel warm on the back side as shown in the picture idle ( as i know gaming is kinda ok to be warm ) ( the warm feeling doesnt change idle or gaming its the same whatever i do ) only on the back side of the PSU where the air is going out i think. Please answer me so im kinda paranoid .... :(
 
Solution
Power supplies are not perfectly efficient. They will lose some energy to heat, and they have a fan to help keep them cool.

They will get hot and blow air especially but not only under load.
