If you planned on OCing why din you just opt for a better wattage PSU?
st56F should be able to withstand this.

Exactly, it's already a better PSU. The problem isn't overload. It's overheat.

If brand new you should be able to replace PSU one to one but i doubt it, but you better not say your OCing it aite

Nope. No problems at stock. Problem comes when the PSU is pushed.

I'll post my results tomorrow, I'll do an open-air test, with fresh air for the PSU. If it still overheats, I think I'll RMA it. One to one exchange... I'll see what the shop allows, thanks for the tips.

Seems like nobody here has the same experience as mine.
EDIT: Well, one to one exchange is not possible after more than a week(it's now 8 days, sucks).

I dont use ure psu bro but i know it can withstand it, my friend used to OC his proc with this PSU but added a blower to promore to stability. But if you ask me a better PSU is worry free like mine.... i have ample of power for my needs... no need to worry...
8 days i dont think its not possible but who knows good luck recession time too so try your best.

If you hav a friend with a better PSU borrow and run a full oc and stress test if you have the choice
