Power Supply (PSU) Temperature problem

[Salt]

I have just recently built a brand new computer and I really don't know if this is a bad thing but I know that this is VERY hot! My PSU is running at 125-128 degrees celcius. Which translates to 257-262 degrees fahrenheit. That seems dangerously hot!

This is a picture of my PC Wizard 2008 info.

If this helps at all, I will list my system parts.


-MSI P43 Neo3-F LGA 775 Intel P43 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

-Geforce FX 5500 128mb video card

-SIGMA Power Engine SP-535 535W ATX12V V2.01 NVIDIA SLI Ready ATI CrossFire Ready Power Supply

I wouldn't trust only PC Wizard. Use another program like Speedfan or SiSoft Sandra.
Ultimately, I only trust my BIOS to report accurate temperatures. That being said, if you can touch your PSU without getting burnt, you can know that PC Wizard's reporting a bogus value.
No PSU can stand a temperature above 100C.

Well...

Thanks for your advice. I reached in and actually felt the PSU and it is cold.
