So, i have had my PC for about 5 months Now and i'm starting to see my CPU and GPU hitting 80 C in Temp.
as I'm new to Gaming desktops, I am wondering what the proper action on how to cleaning my PC or if i can or able to add on/ install more components like Fans to keep it cool, as i tried searching for tutorials but no luck.
i don't want to damage any hardware inside my PC by cleaning part that i should not touch, that i don't know that much about and to understand what and how i should do the cleaning and maintenance needed on my end will be good.
And also if i am able to install Fans in my PC will it effect my Warranty and How.
Thanks in Advance 🙂

So, it seems to me rather suitable, if it is the consequence of playing or having played (it takes a little time so that the temperature drops after)
If you change components, such as the fan, and the pc breaks down, and the support considers that it is due to replacement, the warranty may no longer work!
It is still necessary to find a suitable fan, and that it is unemployed something, the gain is likely to be very low!
You can take care of the computer, like any desktop computer, with care therefore
note if it is possible you can try adding a fan as shown in the video, but this may not be effective!
Make sure that the tower is well placed, avoid a rather closed place, the vents must be well cleared!
Try to take breaks in games, so that the computer does not overheat for a very long time

Hello
we do not know under what conditions, how , with what, do you get this result ?!
If this temperature reading is when the pc is not solicited (a powerful game for example), then you must contact the After Sales Service!
Otherwise, we must have the min and maximum reading with this software for example:

pc little used, and with a game ..
Room temperature, if the tower is in a tight space, find a better location
The pc being under warranty, do not modify it!

Alright Thanks for the advice, the only reason i asked about the fan is that i heard that the stock fan that comes with the PC is that it was not that great, but i will stick with your advice and take it easy on my computer.
Thanks Again
