I've got a small form factor build in an M3 case from Ncase, featuring a 4090 GPU and a 9950x3D CPU. While under load, my system temperature reaches 57 degrees Celsius. Is this acceptable? I'm particularly concerned about how it may impact the power supply unit (PSU).

Just to clarify, a system temp usually refers to the overall temperature inside your PC case, not specific parts. So if it's reading 57 C from a system temp sensor, you're looking good! With a build like yours, you shouldn't worry too much about overheating.
I’d say 57 C is a sweet spot for system temps! It sounds like you’re doing fine. Just keep in mind that some components, like DDR5 RAM, start facing issues above 70 C, but your temps are perfectly normal for most setups under load.
57 C under load? That’s fantastic! As for your PSU, it's designed to handle heat, and the fan will spin up if it gets too warm. Just keep monitoring it, but I think you're in a good range.
Actually, 57 degrees Celsius isn't bad at all, but it's important to clarify if you're talking about CPU, GPU, or just the general system temp. If it's a general system temp under load, that's pretty solid! Most components can handle much higher temps, often up to 90 degrees without a hitch.
Also, don't stress about your PSU too much; it has a fan and will kick in if it gets too warm.
