Power supply suffocating?

[bentura]

Hi people,

I was wondering, does this look like the power supply doesnt have enough room to breath properly. The pwer supply is the only thing making any noise at the momnet and im wondering if its gettin more noisy because the CPU fan and metal back plate are stopping the air flow correctly.

I should be able to remove the metal plate that is sitting above the case fans if needed.

cool, thanks. I thought that the extra heat form the heat sink might be causing the PSU to work harder as it is getting warmer.

wouldnt the closnes of other objects to it also have an effect on the air flow?
