I recently replaced my old 400w PSU with a new 500w one.
On the old 400w the cpu ran at 47c (Running FF) and the cpu fan at 4327rpm. It would stay at this temp all the time.
On the new 500w the cpu now runs at 51c (Running FF) but the cpu fan now runs FULL SPEED 5444rpm after 10 minutes of computer use.
Is it possible that the 500w psu is putting out more current to the cpu, thus making it run hotter and making the cpu fan run faster?
Also, the old 400w psu has a 20 pin power connector, and my cpu temps were low all day. The new 500w psu has a 20+4 pin connector and now my cpu temps are higher than normal and my fan is running at MAX rpm to maintain 50c after ten minutes and never go down??
I heard that perhaps the extra current from the extra 4 pins on the motherboard power connector could make the CPU run hotter?
I had no problems when I was using a 20 pin connector. The temps were low and stayed low all day long.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

P.S.
My cpu fan, as I type this, is running at 5444rpm. NOISY.
I also plan on installing a 80MM case fan as a precaution.
