Some may argue that it should be lack of ventilation but hey ho.
Hopefully by the look of your set up there is adequate fans to extract all the heat generated.
its actually caused by magnetic forces, all electric cables produce a magnetic field around them, this is why some cables have shielding.
cables too close together with current passing through them both produce a magnetic field (induction) these fields interact with each other and cause heat.
