Your PSU is overheating and the fan isn't working. Possible causes include poor ventilation, faulty cooling components, or an overloaded system. Check for dust buildup, ensure proper airflow, and verify power supply stability.

I'm not sure about any scientific evidence of overheating. It seems the temperature rises noticeably when you place your hand near the PSU mounting area.

Which power supply unit do you own? Components become warm during operation.

Computers tend to generate heat. Is there an eco mode option on the power supply unit? If yes, you might attempt to disable it to check if the fans activate. If the fans remain inactive, it could indicate the PSU needs replacement, as suggested by @Chapunna.

What is the specific build and model? Are there any actual problems with the computer that indicate this could be an issue? It’s not wise to guess it’s just low-quality hardware without knowing more.

The PSU must be swapped out because the fan stopped working.
