Upgrade or not??

[Midnight88]

Hi everyone I am new to this forum so if I’m in the wrong place please let me know. I bought a prebuilt HP Omen desktop PC (Model #870-244) last Jan and to date I have upgrade a few parts on it. A RTX 2080 Founders edition graphics card, Samsung 860 SSD, and a Corsair 650w power supply. I use a 144hz monitor and I am currently getting about 130-144 FPS on Fortnite 120 on Black Ops 4, and about 115 on The Division, all games running at Medium to High Settings. I’ve noticed my PC runs very loud also but never going over 75 degrees F on the GPU and never over 81 degrees F on the CPU. First is ok for my PC to do that? And is there anything I should or could upgrade to improve my PC? Thought about just buying a new case and cpu and moving the upgrades over. Anyone have any suggestions??

I think that's fine? Most people use Celsius and I don't know the conversion math. It likely runs loud because you have shitty fans, airflow, and the case is likely super compact.

You could get a new case, but check to make sure the motherboard is of standard sizing; there's a chance it's an OEM board and won't fit into another case.

If you're temperatures are very low and the noise is very high, you could just adjust the fan curves of the GPU and the CPU cooler.

Welcome to the forum.

Yes I do believe it is an OEM board, I am using the original case and I’m pretty sure it doesn’t have any exhaust fans at all unfortunately. Will that be a problem long term?

Hello. First of all you are welcome. I think, if there is a presence of noise and lowness, you should upgrade. But before upgrading, make sure that there is enough space in your motherboard.

Ok thanks, I know how to do it for the GPU but how do I do it for the CPU?

You should be able to set up fan curves for your CPU cooler in the Bios. (I have no idea of Fahrenheit though, I don't know what good temperatures are).

Should I upgrade anything specific? Motherboard? CPU?

Ok thank you very much I’ll do some research on temps and see what is normal, I appreciate the help!

Yes, you can upgrade CPU setting up the curves. I think so.

You'd want to eventually get a case with better airflow. Decent cases are dirt cheap.

Ok thanks!!! Yea it sounds like my case is what is really holding my pc back
