PSU Temps??

I have been experiencing similar temps since getting a new psu in my 2008 Mac Pro a week ago. I just talked to apple and the person I talked to said there is nothing I can do to increase the fan speed. I don't know if that's true. Several days ago it was running at 620rpm, but now it's been consistently running at 599rpm even though the temp hasn't dropped. I'm working on this problem and have a thread about it.

BTW: I'm still using Leopard.

p.s. As nanofrog predicted, apple said not to worry about the temperature as long as the machine is working. But at the same time, they couldn't give me a range of what "normal" temperatures should be.

 

My original one started buzzing, so apple replaced it. I almost wish I had left it alone. I still have applecare, but online I think the PSUs cost about $250–$350. Problem is how would you know which ones run hotter.

I'm going to try to talk to someone higher up on the apple tech ladder about the temperature specs.

At idle, my temps are about 149° and 139°F (65° and 60°C).

EDIT: But I'm in the process of finding out if those temps are accurate by using an IR thermometer.

 

Hot

Under full load for my dual core 3ghz MP, my power supply easily reaches 190F. Seeing as 212F is boiling i get worried sometimes. Never had any problems, but 190F is kinda hot... anybody else have temperatures close that? I've seen posts for 150-160F, but nothing else hotter.
