Build 2019, Need more cooling capacity?

D_Bot

I built my machine in 2019 and now it seems I need more cooling capacity. Components are getting too hot lately.

CPU and GPU both running at same temp.

Just wondering if more cooling is needed with what I am running or if other equipment changes are needed.

Wondering if I need to bring my PC into service or if I could just assess this with someone at Microcenter (online).

i dont know that much about pcs but if your cpu temps are rizing im not telling you you shuld but you can try replacing the thermal past on your cpu

Yeah try replacing thermal paste and cleaning out the dust.

If it's a new issue without you really pushing the system more than you have in the past check for bad fans.

Depending on your box, extra fans are easy to add.

Greetings. What temperatures are you seeing?

Fans can just wear out over time. With the system off, just reach in and try turning each. Any that have some resistance to spinning should be replaced.
