New psu for Dell seems HOT

[paJAMbla]

I upgraded from a 250w stock psu to a 410w from pcpowerandcooling.com. I have a Dell 8300. Everything seems to be running fine...fans, etc. But it seems even hotter when playing BF2 for awhile. When I reach back and touch the fan area on the back of my case, it feels just as hot if not hotter than it did with my old psu. Any thoughts? Somebody gave me a website where I can monitor the temperature of my components but I forgot what it was.

If the computer is running like it should don't worry about the heat coming out of the PSU...that's normal. The PSU does generate quite a bit of heat.

How do you check temperature? Is there a website or download?

I don't use any temp monitoring software. If my computer is running well then the temps must be okay. But if the computer starts to lockup, freeze, reboot or shutdown I will look into the matter (basically just clean the dust from inside the computer and the air vents).
