[SOLVED] What is the best way to improve cooling

[Jessukka]

So I got this pc https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c06066654 as a gift few weeks ago and I noticed that the temperatures are over 80°c when playing Ark or Frospunk. So I desided to turn up the fan speeds but that didn't help that much because I think the fans are pretty ineffective.
What is the easiest way to lower the temperatures?

What are the fan arrangements in the case?
Also when you say over 80 degrees, the CPU, GPU? And is it just a short spike or prolonged exposure to over 80 degrees?
What is the CPU cooler?
Will you void warranties if you open up the case? (usual HP pre-builds can sometimes void warranties this way).

Also remember ambient temperatures are really important here, what is your ambient (room) temperature?

The case only has one fan on the back and air intake on the side panel. GPU temperatures are over 80°C for a long time period. CPU and motherboard are bit cooler than that. The room temperature is about 24°C.
I couldn't find the CPU cooler model and opening the case will not void warranties.

Well it would appear air flow of that case isn't optimal - because ideally you have cool air from the bottom front, exhaust at the rear back, you say upping fan speeds did nothing?
Does opening the PC side panel lower temperatures?

What cooler?

Really, 80C is a normal GPU temperature. I had an ATI card for more than 10 years that idled at 79C for all that time but never went above 100C under load

Make pictures of the inside of the pc. also if you could figure out the diameter of the case fans, would be a big step forward. 80c however sounds good? are you content with the fps compared to other similar setups?

Opening the side panel lowers the temperatures. I actually randomly came across my old laptop cooler pad that has five powerful fans and is just the same size as my pc's side panel. So I will attach the cooler to my side panel with magnets and then check the temperatures. The laptop cooler pad's rpm can even be changed with a slider. Should I add some mesh or something to keep the dust out?

If I'm not mistaken the rear fan's diameter is only 90mm. Fps is normal compared to other's pcs.

Well the problem is it doesn't have suck in fans.

I also recommend to use the mx4 paste to replace the paste on the gpu :

I actually know this guy in the video, hes really helpful.

those are things you can do easily yourself. good tools is half the work done. make sure you got the right screwdrivers.

big drops will get if you mod your case for more air, that's up to you how good you are in mechanical engineering. For the next time don't buy prebuild pcs because than you don't need to go through this hassle. and we can always help you build one.

Goodluck friends.

Opening the side panel lowers the temperatures.

This tells me everything I need to know...and it is that case airflow is poor. The problem is that the case really does not look like it is designed for optimal airflow as much as it is designed to be 'attractive' to someone buying an off-the-shelf desktop PC.

Thank you for those recommendations and tips my friend gave me an new much powerful fan.
I removed the side panel, just put my laptop cooling pad on the side panel's place and made it dust proof. Now the temperatures are much lower and it doesn't even look that bad.

Thanks every one for helping me
