Anyway, after about 10 minutes of
operation with the case open and the new PS sitting off
to one side (clear all around), the two heat sinks are too
hot to touch. Is that normal operation for this kind of

No. They're expected to be hot, but you should be able to
keep your fingers on them for a couple of seconds.
WARNING: The heat sinks on open-frame switchers may be
electrically hot as well as thermally.
