Why are they so hot? Would it affect its efficiency?
I am using a TruePower II 550EPS12V.


Air flow should be fine. Ambient temperature is
about 28 degree Celsius. It's a Asus M2N-E
motherboard using AMD X2 3800+ CPU, 4 sticks
of DDR2-800 RAM.

It's not very hot, but it's not definitely
not as cool as another cheap 350W power supply.
