PC Temps

I recently downloaded a free app for temp check. The pc always feels a bit warm to my touch, so I wanted to make sure things were not too hot. Of course, I live in the Philippines, so things are always hot, but I just want to make sure. The tamps in the attached files look very close to max on some of them, so I just wanted to know if I should be concerned. Thanks.

 

When I search ahdphb3, I get mostly hits for laptops. Is this a desktop "PC" or a laptop?

I agree your temps are a bit high. As seen by the Tjunction spec (100°C) in your CPU's ARC, it is not "hot" but I would not be happy with that.

However, computer temps are very dependent upon ambient (room) temps. So if the interior of the computer case is clean of heat trapping dust as IJAC noted, and your fans are spinning, there may not be anything you can do if your ambient temps are high. This is especially true if a laptop, which inherently have greater cooling challenges.

If a PC, while inspecting/cleaning the interior, check your cable management to make sure your cables are not interfering with the desired (normally front to back) air flow through the case. Re-route and tie back your cables, if necessary - then triple check all your cable connections to make sure you knocked nothing loose in the process.

Then inspect your case fan options. It is important to note that it is the case's responsibility to provide a sufficient flow of cool air through the case to exhaust the heated air out. And it is the user's responsibility to set up case cooling. See if you can add another case fan, or replace existing fans with larger or better fans. Many cases come with 120mm case fans but support 140mm fans - which are capable of move significantly more air (while making less noise too - always good). If your case has 120mm fans, but supports 140mm, you can tell by there being 4 screw mounting holes just off the the corners of the current 120mm fans. Many cases also come with more case fan mounting locations than fan. So you may just be able to add another fan. The motherboard may even have a power connection for another fan, or you can connect it directly a PSU cable.

If this is a laptop, about the best I can suggest is a decent laptop cooling pad. Just make sure it is powered through its own power supply or via a wall to USB adapter so you don't put additional strain on an already struggling cooling solution.

 

Thanks for the replies. I should have mentioned that this is an Acer Aspire laptop. So, I will look into getting a laptop cooling pad at Lazada if they carry them. That's about the only thing I can do. Thanks again for the info.
