PC case is hot!

[skljom]

Hello, I was wondering why is my PC case getting hot even at below 50% CPU load. My PC is cleaned of dust, and at max load my CPU is running at 60°C. Like part where is located PSU is cold, the GPU is cold, but where is the CPU on the other side (Behind cpu, behind mobo side) is getting hot.

Using fx4100 at stock speeds and stock cooler, hd6770 gpu at stock speeds (60 is max on overload games), 4gb hyper x blu 1600 ram and 500GB hdd. Like I got friend with i5 2500k but his cpu is running at 80C and his case is cold...

The back of the motherboard where the cpu is located has no cooling so it tends to be warm but dont worry about it the actual die is where the heatsink is located

yea but my case is all metal, and it spreads around :D

Re-seat the heatsink and re-apply thermal paste. That usually fixes things like this imo.

To keep your case cooler you need to have a case with good ventilation and fans to move the hot air out of the case.

I have none . . . Got behind 2 holes for 80 mm fans I think, and 140mm in front and 2x 120mm at the side. They aren't populated :D
