I just put together a new computer. Everything is working fine, except it smelled hot, of course nothing happened its all fine, but when I felt the power supply, it felt hot. How stable is this power supply being hot?
-The system is an Asus Duel processor motherboard running 2 Athlon 1.8 MP gigahert processors.

Thanks for the help, but I just called Asus support, and they just announced that these new 1.8 duel MP processors require a minimum of a 450 watt power supply, spread the word.
