My computer is overheating.

[TodorTodorov02]

I have a problem where my computer is overheating and I know this because the perfocmace has dropped and the whole case is too warm as well.

Download a software like HWINFO or Speccy or GPU-Z that allows for monitoring of temperature sensors and tell us your results.

I think it's caused by inadequate cooling or bad contact between heatsource and cooler.

Until you figure out how to properly ventilate your case, you should probably consider taking off the sidepanel.

considering you've said nothing other than "my PC is overheating" nobody can tell you what to do.

 

What's your case?

How many fans?

CPU?
CPU Cooler?
GPU?

 

You gotta say something useful before you can get help.

 

Otherwise:  Take off the side panel, and point a large desk fan at your PC.

I can guarantee you that this is almost entirely subjective. Cases getting warm, even when they're appropriately ventilated (yes, heat doesn't magically dissipate only at the fan oututs, it goes everywhere), is not unusual. Not to mention that most people actually think of 45°C as "too hot" even though that is entirely unproblematic for most electronics.

 

I agree with a preceding post, please post thermal readings of what you consider to be overheating.

True - my thought was that he could monitor his temps while PC was under load, then take of the sidepanel and see if temps would drop.
