Overheating of CPU and GPU

[Tobiano]

Hello there,

I've bought this https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk...zen-3000-series-gaming-pc-fs-1dn-og.html#t=b2 spec recently with AMD Ryzen 3600 and Zotac 1660 Super sitting in Kolink Inspire K3 Micro ATX case and yesterday I've run into a problem where my monitors would turn off with a pop-up saying Plug in cables, but I still could hear sounds from the game I've played. I had to turn off the PC and turn in back on. I assumed (maybe wrong) that it has to do with overheating of components, so I check it and while playing games the temperature of CPU is rising to 81 degrees and GPU to 83 degrees to the point where the glass on the case is getting hot.

Now, when I was ordering this PC I didn't think of that the case would be without any fans. So I've did some research on the case (perhaps should have done it before ordering ) and there are 2 spots for fans. 1 in the rear for 92mm fan and 1 in the front for 120mm fan. Can you help me choose both of them or perhaps only 1 would be needed to keep the temperatures down.

Anyway, should I be worried of these temps for now?

Thanks for your time.

the Temps are hot, for relatively cool run in parts, but given absolute lack of any intake and outage fans I would get them in place as a minimum. Case only supports a 120mm intake and 92mm outtake fan so would be your only options. I expect you will see a fairly decent drop in temps with the case being able to actively bring in cool air and exhaust hot air out the back with a pair of fans.

the glass getting warm would be expected as the heat is being expelled in the case and sounds like just building up in the case and going no where fast without the fans mentioned above helping to displace the air in the case.

When idling temps are steady 35 degrees for both CPU and GPU, so I think as you said the problem would be that there's no air flow.
So, the B450M DS3H motherboard has 1 4-pin case fan connector. I assume to connect both fans I would need Y-Splitter, correct?
Does it matter which fans am I going to buy or is it personal preference?

The PSU goes at the top of the case, which will be what is being relied on to expell hot air.

Still, it seems odd they havent filled the fan spaces.


Edit: Anyway, just take the side cover off, and see if it still does it.

Ok, so I removed the glass from the case and played the same game I did when reaching those temps and now the CPU temp is between 53-55 degrees and the GPU temp is between 70-73.

Aye, the temps will go down, but is the monitor still dropping out?

No, it's fine for now. I mean the GTX 1660 super only have 1 HDMI port so I'm using converter to connect my second monitor, perhaps it's getting faulty but that wouldn't explain why both of monitors would drop off.

Thinking of that I'm not sure now if both of them had a pop-up saying to connect the cables or was it only the one connected through converter.

Anyway, I'm going to get those 2 case fans and a new converter just in case.
