Hello everyone !

 

So I got my PC about 5 months ago and just yesterday I noticed that while im gaming my PC case is getting warm. Its not getting too hot, more like if you hold a coin in your arm for about 5 minutes.

My case is the Segotep Legend C2 (M-ATX) and here are the components inside:

 

Motherboard : ASUS PRIME A320M-K

 GPU:PNY Geforce 1060 6GB

CPU: Ryzen 5 2600x 

RAM   8 GB single stick  GOODRAM 2300mhz (or something like that, I don't quite remember)

Case fans: both 120 mm fans. One in the lower front of the case and one in the back. (the ones that came with my PC case)

 

I just want to know is it normal for the case to warm up like that ? I have tested this by playing some Shadow Warrior 2 1080p all settings maxed out and my GPU temperature does not exceed 77 degrees. Also CPU temps are in the normal but I want to know if my PC might overheat by leaving this problem unchecked. I will most likely invest in different case fans, as I am now using the 2 fans that came with my PC case.

I worried, because I don't want something to fry on me. I might get a better 120mm case fan.

I dont know anyting about my current case fans apart from them being 120mm. I dont know how good they are. I might invest in other fans

Case getting warm is small thing. Look at actual component temps. You should be seeing under 85C on both CPU and GPU while gaming, and even under synthetic loads. Most PC components can stand 100C without even starting to melt. Case is made from plastic and metal, so for plastic its something like 150C before it starts to really melt. Your components are dead at those temps. Some cheaper quality cables can and have melted in use, but its still not common issue.
