Heat problem with PC.

[Wolfyyy]

Hi guys,

From today my pc has been getting pretty hot under load but when I look at readings of my GPU and CPU it shows normal temps during gameplay, such as during a game of CS:GO my GPU was around 60 and my CPU was around 50, but when I touched my pc case it felt very hot.. alot more than usual. I also appear to be getting FPS drops in games due to this but not sure what is causing the heat problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

System:
MSI AMD R9 290
AMD FX-8350 4.0Ghz
Cooler Master Hyper Evo 212
8GB HyperX Beast RAM
MSI 970A-G43 motherboard
Corsair CSM 650W Semi Modular 80+ Gold PSU
Zalman Z11 case

That are fine temperatures. Since you said your case felt hotter than usual, it may be that your room was warmer than usual for some reason or maybe the fans were moving more hot air in the case than usual.

Either way, under load those temps are fine.

That MSI motherboard has a history of catching fire thanks to poor design of the VRM's .

Worth checking those temps as well . And your house insurance
