all power supplies get hot, just like anything with a lot of electricity running through it, unless its causing any problems it shouldnt be a problem.

when run out of the case its not even warm, think i have a problem with airflow

I'm using an Akasa eclipse62 with 2 low speed 120mm fans and my Corsair HX620 is cool as anything, sounds like you need more case cooling.

yeah it runs cool outside the case

corsiars are extremely efficient psu's. they dont get hot at all unless you are hammering them for long sessions. im talking a 600w load here - check out johnnygurus review: http://www.jonnyguru.com/review_details.php?id=32&page_num=2

very cool running and very efficiant. 620w load and the exhaust temp is only 13c higher than the intake.

........so if yours is running too hot, i would look at airflow firstly.

are you sure you havnt mounted it upside down as this could cause heat build up
