    Hi. Normally out to help remove the heat buildup inside the Tower.
    Also make sure the wiring harness is not impeding air flow.

    Because it has a case fan, be sure to check inlet vents, and also other area's inside where dust may build up. It can be surprising how much general dust gets sucked in, only to stick and build up on something vital that needs to be kept cool.
