Yeah, not sure I'd be comfortable with this "fix" personally.

How much heat does the power supply give off? I'm surprised they combined it all.

    Since its not like the cpu or gpu is going to change, they can tune a power supply to produce as little waste heat at expected power delivery ranges. If its in the path of the air in the cooling solution, it should be fine. The additional heat load should bet a drop in the bucket and likely a degree or two of overall system temp rise at most.

    The advantages of no external brick falls in line with the ease of use priority valve has had with this design. Its not going to pull the device off a shelf, and its not going to get buried in the back of furniture where it wont get any air flow.
