Possible Bottleneck?

I use some crappy AMD R5 230 in my build (Build in my sig)

 

When playing games, my CPU fan doesn't really spin up at all, almost idle, and my GPU overheats since it's passively cooled.

 

Bottleneck? 

 

Any way I can fix this?

It's not even made for games. More like HTPCs. Tbh. You need a whole new PC. :/

If the GPU is overheating try zip-typing a fan near it, or maybe even on it depending on where you could put it.

The games I play don't really lag or anything. It's just that over time the GPU thermal-throttles.
