Hi Mo I think it may have sorted itself out, am still getting the high temps with the cpu, will get that checked, I have used hw monitor and it is also showing the high temps. I didn't know that there was a grill on the left side, I had that against the side up-right of the desk so air couldn't escape, when Paul the technician gets back to me I will get him to check the cpu though as I am concerned with that. The psu isn't so warm now.
