Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

my dad gave me this pc last year and I use it to play games on it, however when I do that it gets quite hot, about 80*c and that's too hot for my liking so I was wondering if I was able to do a case swap. the case has a specific rother motherboard ( https://support.hp.com/gb-en/document/c06432435  ) and I was wondering if it would be able to fit in this case ,  https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07Y5HZ9WM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A2NIA2CGVBCUK3&psc=1 .i don't know if the psu would fit properly into the case because it looks to be too small to be screwed in properly into the case i want. i found these fans https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07VQF32XB/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A16G2RYKO3IO8J&psc=1 that i will be able to power with a spare sata cable from my power supply.  also im not sure if the gpu NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 2060 Super™ (8 GB GDDR6 dedicated) will be able to screw in properly or am i just stupid. any help would be greatly appreciated thank you.

@wnbrn , welcome to the Community.

 

These are difficult questions to answer.  As you noted, the motherboard in your computer is customized and HP proprietary.  The main concern with moving the motherboard to another case is the holes in the motherboard matching the stand-offs in the case.  If they don't match perfectly it could cause a short that will fry it.  Also, the front connectors on the board don't always match those in the case.  You could choose a manufacturer and contact their Tech Support to see if they can help you determine if their case will be compatible with your motherboard.

 

I know that 80C seems a bit high, but the maximum for your CPU is 100C and the maximum for your video card is 89C.
