My pc is about 6 months old. I have a 2600, a red devil 5700xt, a liquid cooler and fans on the front as intake, with one on top as intake and one on back as exhaust. I have severe crashes, with my monitors losing signal and i have to restart to see anything again. I decided to test if taking the tempered glass side panel would help, as it gets so hot i can hardly keep my hand on it for more than 5 seconds, and for two days i had no issues. my gpu gets to about 80 degrees C and cpu at 75. Is there any way to help my temperatures without having to take off my side panel? I was thinking about upgrading to a 3600x, but i feel if temperature is an issue, then i cant afford the extra heat a new chip will bring.
 
Solution
your exhaust is too weak, make your top fan(s) as exhaust too
u can also increase fan speed on exhaust fans to push hot air away faster
intake doesnt matter much, as long exhaust works, it will get air from any hole pc has
