[SOLVED] Very High CPU and GPU temps

[Jackson50]

I just built my brand new gaming pc yesterday and I am getting very high temps such as up to 95 degrees on my GPU and CPU with no overclocking while running or downloading games and around 70 degrees when idle. I have 3 intake fans at the front of my case and 1 exhaust fan at the back.

Components
CPU- ryzen 5 2600
Cooler- stock wraith stealth that comes with r5 2600
GPU- xfx Radeon rx 580 8gb
PSU- Thermaltake smart 500w
Case- thermaltake v200 rgb TG (comes with 3 rgb fans in front and 1 in back
RAM- G-Skill aegis 16gb DDR4 3000mhz
MOBO- gigabyte b450m ds3h micro atx
SSD- Kingston 500gb SATA ssd

Check the flow of your case fans. Are they positioned right?

Open task manager and check if there is something running in the background which taking up a lot of cpu usage.

I would advise you to re-apply thermal paste on to your CPU and GPU and maybe it will solve your problem.

There's no real front air intake. Take a look at the front panel and tell us where the 3 front fans are supposed to pull in air from.

there is a vent on the right side of the front panel.

My task manager is filled with a lot of different things, what specifically should I be looking for?

Sort the tasks by CPU usage, see what the top few entries are. If any of them look suspicious, try searching for them on Google.

will do, do you think I should my fans for the top vent of my case as Intake since my case doesn’t have much ventilation in the front?

That could work, in fact I do feel like this is an airflow problem since both CPU and GPU are overheating.

 

[Jackson50]

I think so too, because the back of my pc by the rear exhaust fan gets very hot and it heats up my entire room.

That's completely normal.

Technically, there's some slots in the front right edge and an opening at the bottom. That's not exactly ideal for airflow though.

I did notice a review for this case mention that it might be worth moving the front fans to the inside of those mounts to improve airflow, so that the fans don't block those openings as much.

Neat!

@Jackson50
Try the above method.

I moved two of the fans from the front up to the top of my case as intake and my temps are down to 60 degrees now thank you so much for your help
