PC Getting Really Hot

Do you have any case fans? That would probably help cool it down.

Hello,


My DIY-built PC has been getting really hot lately, to the point where when I put my hand near it, the heat is overwhelming. What can I do to try and prevent this? My specs are listed in the link below.

Thank you!

What are the CPU/GPU temps your PC is hitting?

Define "overwhelming" and tell us where are you putting your hand? Near a part or on a part? What part?

How long is it running and under what kinds of loads?

What are your CPU and GPU temps?

You are going to need to be more specific. Start with basic stuff. Room temp, CPU temp and GPU temp? Have you OC'd in any way? Have you more case fans than 2 included and how are they setup?

What are your temps?

The amount of heat your system puts out depends on your power consumption and not cooling.
