1 question. Why the hack you try to touch your PSU? Touching it made it cool down before?

Obviously it seems there is Dirt accumulated in your PSU. Take it to a service centre to clean it. Is your cabby fully clean? extra dust anywhere?

@Tarun: there is some problem with PSU..send it RMA if under warranty or else buy a good PSU (such as Corsair,CM or Seasonic)

Never give up!!
normally even under load PSU doesn't get that hot as specified by you...:flamethrower:
so there is seriously something wrong with the PSU as suggested by Zangetsu:thumbs:
get it changed if its under RMA or better get a new branded one if you can afford ....:unsure:

Clean the already accumulated dust inside the fan blades. If not much dust is there, then your PSU has gone bad. Send it for RMA.
