is my 4ms row power 45 getting too hot? do other people have the same issue?
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>hi modular people, </p> <p>tl;dr: is it a problem when my 4ms row power 45 gets really hot? how are your experiences with this psu? and with hot i mean i cant keep my finger on it for longer.</p> <p>.</p> <p>i changed not long ago to a 4ms row power 45, actually 2 for 2 racks, and i am concerned if it is getting too hot.</p> <p>the specifications are 2.0 A max on +12v, they recommend running it with 1.5 A. and 1.4 A max on -12v, they recommend 1.2A.</p> <p>so i got the row power 45 because i like that its putting out enough power and the daisy chaining of 2 psu's.</p> <p>i run it with flying busboards.</p> <p>my rack draws 1.630 A on +12 and 990 on -12 and i realised the psu gets really hot. like i cant keep my finger on the metal parts.</p> <p>i than changed some modules and now run it with 1.490A on +12 so that i am in the recommended area but it is still getting really hot, no difference in temperature. </p> <p>i also tried the 2nd row power 45, same heat.</p> <p>the 4ms row power in my smaller case with around .900-1.000A on +12 stays way cooler.</p> <p>what do you think? do some people here have experiences with this psu? </p> <p>thanks</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/nuan_Ce"> /u/nuan_Ce </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/modular/comments/vcsd0k/is_my_4ms_row_power_45_getting_too_hot_do_other/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/modular/comments/vcsd0k/is_my_4ms_row_power_45_getting_too_hot_do_other/">[comments]</a></span>
