Why do PCs and laptops overheat
If your computer is hot to touch, you may notice laggy graphics or slower than usual load times. You might also hear the fan working overtime. These are classic signs of overheating.

You might experience overheating for multiple reasons, but understanding why your PC or laptop is getting hot is the first step to fixing the problem.

Overheating occurs whenever the internal cooling system can't effectively ventilate the hot air caused by the hardware components processing your requests.
Vents, fans, and heatsinks are designed to help computers regulate this heat so that it doesn't damage your system's delicate internal mechanisms.
How to Keep your Computer Cool
Consider where your computer is situated — is it in a particularly warm place? Make sure your computer isn't near a heat vent or a window with direct sun. Sometimes changing the location of your computer can help keep it cool.
Dust and dirt can wreak havoc on the first line of temperature defense: the fans. When you open your desktop computer case, you should be able to find several fans: one on top of the CPU, one inside the power supply, and perhaps one or more on the front or back of the case. Power down your computer and use a canned air duster to remove the dirt from each fan. Don't use vacuums when cleaning because the static they produce often does more damage than heat.
Upgrading your CPU fan is a start, but adding case fans to desktop computers can also be a big help. Because performance-enhancing memory and graphic cards generate a lot of heat, case fans can help increase airflow to your components by attaching to the front and back of your system. Many of our Ballistix® customers opt to install two case fans: one to move cool air into the PC and another to move warm air out of the PC. If you decide to add case fans, make sure that the intake and exhaust levels match. If you install an 80mm fan in the front of your case and a 120mm fan in the back, the differential will create dead air and negative pressure, leading to an increased potential to overheat.
For gaming systems with high-end CPUs and overclocked components, often the fastest fans can't keep up with the increased temperatures. To solve this problem, many gamers opt for water cooling kits as a way to cool the CPU. In a water cooling kit, a pump cycles cold water down to the CPU in self-contained tubes, then pumps the water out of the system where it can be cooled before returning to the CPU for additional cooling. If you're comfortable performing a technical installation, water cooling kits are safe and relatively affordable. Read more about upgrades you can make to your gaming rig.
