PC gets hot when playing battlefront

[Gamer Brainer]

the top of my pc case gets pretty hot, but when i check my temps for my CPU (Intel I5), GPU (GTX 970) and motherboard (Z-97 Gaurd Pro) in HWMoniter. The CPU doesn't go above 55, The motherboard doesnt go above 45 and My GPU doesn't really go over 60. but the top part of my case seems to always be hot when playing this game; and i suspect there is a problem.

Thanks for any help.

What case are you using?

Is your PSU on top, and is its fan working properly. I had a similar issue, and found that the PSU fan had stopped working. All the other fans were working and kept the other things cool enough to not cause issues, but the PSU was running pretty hot.

I will check that, thank you.

It's a pretty intense game. Hot air rises, and if you have no fans pushing hot air out of the top of your case, it could just be all that hot air rising and accumulating at the top.

So you would recommend fans at the top?

If your case has vents at the top and mounts for fans, yes. I can check if you are able to install fans if you link me your case.
