Hey guys, sorry pretty scrub when it comes to terms , just saying up front , so please bear with me.
I have an i7 7700k rtx 2070 with a 390 phantom motherboard and the last week or two it has been hitting 110+ degrees cel. Now first guess is cooling and from the preliminary research that was ... make sure its clean (dust free), things are slotted together well, no damage (will explain perhaps slight dmg), and fans running, things are still seemingly quiet and efficient on the fans. Nothing seems clogged. It has been getting hot here (I am living in Japaj currently so perhaps a voltage problem? But has been fine for a year). I don't think it is overclocked, the bios are set on default. Room temperature may be concerning? Around 26-27 cel. But would it cause that much overheat?
So basically when I play a graphic intense or mmo game it sits around 90c , then after 20 mins or so it will raise and eventually hit 110 and I just stop. A couple times my system would just shut off on its own and I would open the side up and it was burning hot on the cooling tubes / fan / graphics card. Thos was BEFORE I dusted it out. I then cleaned it out , fairly significant dust. Then everything was cool again when it would system shut down, except the heat sink (I think its called) . It is a small circular part with 4 bolts connected to the motherboard) . This was pretty hot. The fans and graphics card though fairly cool. So now I'm afraid to play games because when I enter bios its around 60-70 just on idle. And sometimes that would get pushed after 5-10 min to 90. While just sitting in bios.
I want to make sure there are no easy solutions before replacing anything big, or maybe some things that could work out.
Oh and the sight damage might have been from my child when he was playing wiI he let loose the controller and went flying into the air and hit the back corner where the motherboard / heat sink/fan area. I don't know if impact caused some dmg, but I couldn't tell. I was wondering because the problems were somewhat shortly after that incident.
Thanks in advance.
