Will be interesting to see what the results are with a replacement PSU

Hmm i just installed a gdemu the other day with the resistors on the rail trick. I can tell they are radiating heat. with the case on it feels slightly warm to the touch near where they are. I saw plenty of people swearing by this technique online so assumed it was safe. I've seen sometimes people upgrade the fan and/our insert something to direct airflow directly to the psu??? obviously swapping out the psu would be the safest bet.

Not so sure I want to buy a fancy thermometer to measure the internal heat at this point.

I have A GDEMU is my USA VA1 console without any modification what-so-ever. I have no noticeable extra heat and use my DC all the time. I have had my GDEMU installed for over a year with zero issues.
