Thread Starter 
Hey all, so my build is as follows,

Intel I7 3930k oc'd to 4.2ghz
2 GTX570s 2.5gb in sli
Corsair H100 coolling
16gb of Corsair XMS 1600mhz
a few HDD 1tb, 2tb and a 60 gig ssd
In an Antec 1200
powered by a Coolermaster M1000w


I use BOINC alot and i noticed when both Gpus and the Cpu are at 100% my psu gets quite warm. Im not accustomed to this phenomenon... haha
How hot should psus really get? Should that psu be more than enough for my rig? What am i missing here...

It should be fine, CM PSUs are pretty reliable from what i hear. My PSU gets warm as well. Its only an issue when its hot, like hurts to place your finger on it hot.

Your system pulls like 550W. No it's not killing your PSU.
