This is an issue that really has been eating away at me for the past year: my computer's physical tempature when gaming.
I purchased a pre-built last year (didn't want to, but finding high-end parts was impossible). The computer is great, link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08J8D5RN6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The only issue is that it gets infernally hot when gaming.
I'm not a tech guy, reading internal temps is new to me: here's a snapshot of my HWMonitor.

These are the readings when my computer is the hottest (when playing Elden Ring). I play in mostly 4k resolution if that means anything.
During the summer, without the AC, my room temp rose from 70 degrees to 91 degrees F. It was agonizing, and I can't imagine this is the norm with new computers these days.
I honestly just don't want to go through another summer sweating in my computer chair when I want to play a game. I know the computer has a cooling system inside of it, but I just don't see how this could be right. It's very, very hot when you place your hand on the side of the computer. Like, alarmingly hot. Yet, no issues with freezing or overheating/crashing apparently.
Can anyone help me understand what's happening?
Thanks.
