WHY DOES MY PC HEAT UP FAST

[Cookie_Munster1]

i changed my case from the nzxt phantom to nzxt h440? the h440 heats up really fast just with playing minecraft. What do i need to buy or do to fix this?

Make sure your CPU is mounted correctly. I have this case and it does not heat up fast and it is very hot in my room.

Please tell me you're trolling...

If you're not trolling, what temps are you getting?

What hardware are you running? Are you over clocked? and what fan placement do you have(where are your fans located, which direction)?

im running fx 6300 (not oc-ed), asus m5a97 le r2, gtx 660, 8gb ram

3 fans in the front pulling in and 2 140mm on the top pushing out and 120mm in the back aswell pushing out

let me play some minecraft for like 10 minutes and ill tell you

I think this may be a troll post, cases don't heat up on their own, the components inside generate heat which causes the case to heat up, I'd guess you didn't plug the fans into the fan headers or managed to remove your cpu cooler then re-attach it without properly cleaning it and applying new thermal paste.

im not trolling, like i put my hand behind the case by the fan and i felt really hot air blow in my hand just with playing minecraft for like 30 minutes

[SeanAngelo]

specs? temperatures? @Cookie_Munster1

Okay are you seriously not trolling?

 

Did you even try a software to tell you temps?

[Speedyv]

Redo the heatsink and fan mounting (and thermal paste), make sure your fans are blowing in the right direction (front intake & rear exhaust)

 

And download core temp and provide temps.

What cooler are you using?

Please don't ever go into meteorology. "What's the temperature going to be today?" "Some!"

Are you running a stock cooler? That would be one reason why it's heating up so much. Other reasons would be that something might be woring with your GPU driver making it run inefficiently. It could also just be the fact that you're running a 660.

Minecraft will stress your GPU out just as much as any other game, seeing as you haven't given it any limitations. It's no different from playing something stressful like BF4.

And bear in mind that computers in general heat up a LOT. As long as your temps are below 80-90 degrees, you shouldn't have any problems...

[OpticFusion]

Try prime95 and tell me what temperatures you are getting.

yes im like getting 70 and 70 for both my cpu and gpu

i think it doesnt work with amd cpu, well it didnt let me download it last time

ooohh, it scares me when i check the air coming out and its really hot so i just stop what im doing and let it cool down

Try downloading coretemp, then tell us the temps your cpu is at when you play minecraft.

 

If by "Really hot" you mean a few degrees above room temperature then that's normal.

[eelnico09]

70º it's normal-ish, a bit high but yeah, heat is supposed to go out hot, since that's the idea of the fans, preventing that hot heat from being locked inside the case and heating your hardware

they are

normal heatsink that comes with the amd cpu

[OpticFusion]

What is your room temperature.
