I have issues with GPU and CPU overheating, anyone have a solution?  (beginning to think that power supply is not adequate for the system

    Hi there and welcome to the forum!


    Have you tried searching the forum? There are many post about beefing up the cooling. Swapping cooler helps, and few remove the very restrictive metal mesh from air intake and exhaust.

    I add one pic below just in case you are interested, but it is not for the faint-hearted. I removed the mesh with a dremel and since I had no use for the HDD case... off she went! The extra fan hole on the top is not needed.



    I doubt that your PSU has anything to do with high temps other than slightly reducing the airflow to the GPU. But that's what you get with such a small case with a bad design when it comes to air intake.

    First of all, before getting into redesigning the cooling system, what do you specifically mean by 'overheating'? What are you seeing for CPU and GPU temperatures, and what software are you using to monitor them?

    Just to be clear, I'm not suggesting anyone to dremel their cases before they have done the obvious and easy checks and changes. The pic was just an example of things that can be done if needed.

    Billsey, I applaud you for the hard work you have done and for the endless patience you seem to have. Thank you! But to ease your endless workload, there really should be a pop-up or stickied posts about "search first, ask later" and maybe even some answers to most common questions. Oh, and when posting a question people should list all of their components as well as the model number of their PC.

    Yeah, we always hope for that, and they do have suggestions for posting guidelines, just not such that everyone will actually read them. :) We try to move users toward a thread specific to their issue, with a title that includes the model number, so they can show up higher in the searches once marked as solved. I believe a fair amount of the people here do use the search function, but a bunch are also using English as a second (or third, or fourth, ...) language so aren't adept at using the right key words for the searches.

    What RAM is that? I've been trying to get a kit that runs at 3200MHz, but all I can find a expensive green PCB ones.

    my graphics card is RTX 2060 super, GPU 83 C, CPU goes 60 C plus not sure if this is normal or not. My first time owning gaming system with RTX card

    Those look pretty close to normal, although I'd expect the numbers to be reversed, 80-85C on the CPU and 60-70C on the GPU. I don't believe you get any throttling until post 90C on the CPU and post 80C on the GPU. CPU coolers are pretty well understood here, there are lots of users bringing their temps down by 10-15C, GPU coolers are less so other than by changing the case fan design to increase airflow past the card.

    I switched to the MSI afterburner software, what a big difference in temps.
