New PSU = Higher temps. ?

I recently replaced my OCZ GXS 850W with the Corsair HX850, and I've noticed an increase of about 5 to 8 degrees in my GPU and about 2 degrees in CPU. I was playing Bulletstorm and accidently forgot to crank the fan to 70% from 60%, and my GPU hit 95 degrees ! I know that's not the max temp. threshold, but that's still extremely high with the fan at 60%. The highest it has ever went is (with the GXS) is the low 80s and that was w/ 60% fan speed. Has anyone else noticed this when they replaced their PSU? And, is this acceptable?

Can't help with temps, but why don't you set a fan profile so the fan runs flat out before your GPU gets to those temps?C_Rule

its hard for me to believe but perhaps the fan isent working as well

That's a major temperature increase.. I doubt the PSU would do such thing.. so your GPU fan has probably worn out.. I recommend you to replace it before your card goes bye-bye..

Also.. SmartDoctor's SmartCooling fan control is quite handy to avoid high temperatures while increasing the life span of the fan..

So, it just so happened to go out JUST as my new power supply was installed (never an issue before)? I read some forums online that different PSUs will give higher, or lower temps. depending on their output ambient temp. This PSU is guaranteed to output at >50 degrees (ambient).

Did you try installing back your old PSU.. (if not broken) and see if the card still overheated..? I would recommend you to do so before taking any action that involves spending money.. if the problem persists then it really was a coincidence that your GPU fan wore out right when you installed the new PSU..
