PC components overheating pls help

[carolcat]

don't have any case fans, I'll buy some soon

get some case fans. you'll want at least one on the front for intake and one on the rear for exhaust. the passive cooling will probably help you out a great deal because it'll get fresh air flowing through the case instead of choking the parts.

what model computer is it? the original case likely wasn't intended for use in a gaming system.

judging by the pictures, there should be an exhaust fan on the back. also that side vent has 0 filter so you'll probably get a lot of dust really easily.

i have tons of wires I don't need so I just stuff them in an open space under the HDD
idk if you can remove them from the PSU easily

This is my wire management as of an hour or two ago

yeah I'll check that out

also, alyx, I never thought of using duct tape. thank you, that will be my best friend.

You're welcome, and remember: duct tape is the best stuff ever invented.

zip ties work well too, just clip off the excess stuff when you're done securing them. probably easier than duct tape to take off and redo in case you have to change your wires around for whatever reason.

I use zip ties but the damn molex connectors I don't use make it a pain in the ass to bundle up

[Alyx Vance]

I was going to use zip ties but undoing them is a pain in the ass, not to mention I don't have any small ones nor do I have any side-funds to get any.

These temperatures are fine
Most modern hardware is rated up to 100+

You could look into improving your cooling system if it worries you (dust it out, get a new case with good airflow), but those temperatures are by no means "overheating".

[ABlockOfCheese]

Have you tried turning it off and turning it back on again?

u can just snip em

Issue of not being able to go out and get more still stands. Duct tape is super inexpensive and lasts for a while. Trust me, I'd use zip-ties given the chance. Just not in this situation.
