Overheating pc issue

[xotali]

hello! so back towards the end of 2021 i purchased a OMEN 30L Desktop GT13-0xxx and i noticed that when i first got it that it was louder than my old computer but i didn't think much of it, but now its constantly overheating no matter what i do, i could just be watching youtube it over heats, but it mainly overheats when i play games to the point that it sounds like its going to explode until the fans work hard enough to cool it down only for it to over heat again, is there anyway to solve this issue? or is there anything i should upgrade? because this is really upsetting me considering the amount of money i paid for this computer. i should also mention that i am still fairly new to the pc gaming community, was a console player for most of my life so i don't really know much about gaming pcs and honestly didnt know that prebuilts arent always good.

Hi @xotali 

Welcome to the HP Forum.

The 25L/30L case has some airflow issues in the stock config. For example, there is a plate at the top of the case which should be removed to improve airflow.

You could also have a CPU thermal paste issue or a graphics card thermal issue.

Check this YouTuber video for some options on increasing airflow in the case. I would also check other videos by this author where specific cooling upgrade options for this case are shown in detail.
