Is the PSU fan meant to be spinning at all times?

Built my PC and turned it on and it's installing Windows XP yet the PSU fan isn't spinning and it feels hot.

There was a blue and black wired cable coming from the PSU with three holes on the end that looked like it would fit one of the fan connections on the motherboard.

Didn't plug it in though because I found nothing about it in any manual.

Is this the power for the fan?

Oh okay..

Although when I put my hand over the PSU it feels VERY hot indeed..

Not sure, brought it pre-built.

Why?

Was going to ask if it is excessively hot or not.

PSU's usually run hot, if your rig is stable then do not worry about it.

I had a feel last night of my old computer, which had been on all day, and tbh it was barely warm...

Is there a way I can check the temperature of my PC or something to check if things aren't overheating?

Alright mate. Probably me just worrying too much.

Anyone know what those long rubber screws are for that you get inside the case?

Ah cheers.

Originally I used them to mount the plate on to the hard drive..

Kinda realised that wasn't what they are intended for when one fell out
