My case (not the cpu) gets too hot!! It wasn't like this until i changed my cpu, motherboard, and RAM. Any ideas on why this is happening? Any suggestions on how to make it cooler.
I'm not gonna spend on coolers, not yet. Still trying to save up :D
Thanks in advanceWhy does my computer get too hot?The change to a better CPU, and RAM is most likely the cause.
You have to realize that when you buy a PC it's designed to operate efficiently the way it's delivered. The manufacturer selects parts that will function together efficiently in the delivered configuration. So when you change that configuration, you can easily exceed the cooling capabilities of the as delivered package.
The easiest solution to your warm case is to simply add more case fans. They are very cheap to buy and will increase the amount of air drawn in, and subsequently expelled from your case. This increased flow of air will keep the inside of your case cooler and it's the cheapest way to solve your issue. Look inside the case for empty fan mounting spots and check the MoBo manual for places to plug in additional fans.
Hope this helps.Why does my computer get too hot?Because God has put Hell inside your computer.Why does my computer get too hot?You should stop putting your computer in the microwave, that will help for sure.Why does my computer get too hot?maybe it is in a close environment, make sure that you ventilate well the room
if you like my answer choose me as the best answer XDWhy does my computer get too hot?maybe because its on the floor and the air isnt circulating, try to put it on something like a desk, not the floor, a cheap cooler should do the trick though, iwouldnt spend alot on coolers anyway.Why does my computer get too hot?I wouldnt suggest using the PC if its getting that hot, if you havent already try to keep it away from confined spaces to give it room to breath.Why does my computer get too hot?Your new motherboard may not have the right fan control drivers for your case. You should probably make sure you have the right ones downloaded.
Also, you might want to make sure that when you installed your new CPU that you had proper gel application, because otherwise the heat-sinks wont work properly.Why does my computer get too hot?you can open up the case and see if the heat won' t reduce. If you see no change than try to clean off the dust from the computer's components. By time dust collects and you will have to take it off. You can even install a new fan .Why does my computer get too hot?When you pass current through RAM, CPU, and other devices, it generates heat. Now, if you are generating heat inside your computer, then the heat has to go somewhere. And it goes to your case.
My guess is that you upgraded to a more robust processor and RAM. Make sure your computer is in a cool place, and even a simple solution such as having a fan near it can help solve air flow problems. Be sure that whatever your old cooling system was is working too. It is normal for more advanced CPU's to require more advanced cooling systems.
