pc glass panel getting hot
Recently I have found that my glass panel is getting hot around my Graphics card. I have a pre-built and have't had this problem in the beeginig. I have downloaded the software msi afterburner to increase fan speed. I've also increased my fan speed from my nivida setting (i have a nividia rtx 2070 super. My gpu's been running arpund 65 c playing ark and 50 playing dbd With the side panel still getting hot anything im missing?

Doesn't matter. Heat radiates. So as long as the airflow is doing it's job, it's all good. Even if there was a veritable wind tunnel going through there, you're still going to get a hot side panel as radiation works like that.


The key point is to watch what the temperature sensors say is happening in that card.

If it's within where it should be, ignore it, as it's clearly working.

Try using 98% vram and max your wattage with no side panel and tell me you'd rather have your hand next to a furnace than let your case do its job :lunar2020thinkingtiger:


+ Side panel = better than hearing anything around 2000rpm or higher in your headphones.

Have you ever opened it up and cleaned it.
