PSU feels very hot

[SneakyStuff]

I just got an Antec SLK3700BQE, When I touch the top of the case, where the PSU is, it's very hot, and very hot air is blowing out of the case, is this normal?

my thermatake 420w blows a lot of hot air as well, while the 420w turbolink that came with the case had cooler air coming out. the turbolink was just as quite as the silent pure power psu as well.

Any of you guys find the Antec 430 rather loud? It's not like it's Tornado loud, but it's has a slight whine to it.. and I can hear it on top of my other components

OK, I am now becomming really worried, silentpcreview said that the PSU ran very cool, but mine runs really hot, I mean so hot that the top of the case where the PSU is, is hot. I am thinking that this is also why my CPU is so hot, because it's in such close proximity to this volcanic PSU. Are there any utilities to actually check the PSU temps? Thanks
