Well I finally received my SX700 yesterday, along with a Silverstone ML08, and today I rebuilt my system in the new case. Sadly, I've had a few sudden and unexpected reboots since the rebuild, and I'm having trouble determining the cause.


My CPU (6700K) and GPU (GTX 970) temps seem okay, and the system didn't have any issues in the previous case. I'm concerned that the PSU is reaching its 110°C overtemp protection, but I don't know how I could verify that. When I use OCCT to load my system, the PSU fan turns on only sometimes, but when gaming I don't think the fan turns on at all (which I was hoping for TBH). Given the orientation of the PSU in the ML08, passive convection probably isn't doing a great job of removing heat from inside the PSU without the fan going.


Is there a simple way to check the PSU's internal temperature without any special tools?
