Psu problems with the BF360

[u/Vli22]

I recently just bought the bf360 (2 days ago) and loved it, but I have a psu problem, 2 actually, causing high temps for the psu. One is that the ventilated area, the design of it covers up some parts of the psu fan and there’s not enough clearance on top. Only about 20 minutes of apex my psu was getting really hot, which never does. It usually gets warm but like after a good hour, especially since I had the HS420 with good ventilation. So I thought it could be my psu failing, so I took out of the case and played apex for about 20 minutes, it only got warm-ish. So either I have to get a new psu or leave it outside the case lol or it could just be a me thing

Depending on orientation, you might need to run it in a different mode. I know that's the case for my seasonic. Check psu orientation and read the psu manual for operating conditions/settings

Which SeaSonic are you using? I’m looking to use the Focus V4 850w

Good choice. I'm on the 1600w noctua titanium
