Would have been more efficient to buy a different computer with a better thermal solution, better airflow characteristics. I fixed the problem but it required a new motherboard, new case, new power supply, and new memory (not required but might as well). And also set to turn off the case fan whenever the PC is 'idle' (monitor off). That's why the case feels ridiculously hot, and thats also why your typical AMD / Intel aftermarket coolers might not work (because they are meant for push pins or for AMD style clip and brackets).Īlso the motherboard temperature sensors don't work very well so this is part of the problem you've observed, combined with no fan control ability. The problem is that the heat sink screws to the metal panel on the case. Even the AMD ones have copper on the CPU contact plate. When I removed the CPU heatsink, I noted that it was cheaply made. The CPU is choked for fresh air and the only air it can get is the hot exhaust from the graphics card, plus heat from the power supply. I believe the case is simply not designed for having a graphics card that can produce 100w of heat, combined with adding a likely Hard disk drive. I had / have this same computer and same problem (HP gaming PC with GTX 1650 Super and Ryzen 3500).
