Hi, it’s my first time to build in an ITX/ small form case. I just have a question whether this is normal. Previously I’ve had a mid tower and bigger tower where the layouts have always been PSU on bottom rear part of the case. These cases have been thick and I never really felt the PSU part to be warm.

Anyway, so now I just finished my new ITX case. I used a SGPC K66 air. Temps are great after a few tinkering. CPU 60-70c GPU 60-70c under gaming load. One thing I noticed though, the bottom area where my PSU is located (behind the GPU in the pictures attached) the right side gets a bit too warm to the touch. Not hot where I cant even touch it, warm where like im grazing my fingers on a fresh coffee mug type of warm. Is that normal?

Im using FSP flexguru 500w non modular… I think the fans for intake there are on the cable side (inside the case).

Maybe im just overthinking it cause I never felt no PSU heat from my pc tower cases.
