should there be a lot of air going thru the ps?

ok, i have a Dell micro tower(one 5", 2 3") and i have an overclocked voodoo3 2000PCI in it. i have the ps fan, the PIII's heatsink fan, the 486fan on the voodoo, an 80mm 34cfm intake, and i just installed another one of those 80mm's as an exhaust. when all of the fans are running, i noticed that there is less air moving through the power supply fan. is this going to be a problem? if it is, i can turn the other exhaust around and use it as an intake, but theres alot of hot air in there because of the size, so i was hoping to be able to vent it out. right now the exhaust fan is off, and i just have the rest running. thanx :)

I don't think so. It's probably because the exhaust 80mm is hogging all the intake air, but I wouldn't worry about it. You can't overclock a PS anyhow. :)
