Okay so I done a small experiment on my crappy OEM desktop computer from BestBuy. Right now I'm at idle an the Motherboard is running anywhere from 36-42C an under load it goes between 40-60C because I have no intake or exhaust fans in this piece of crap computer.
I took the side panel off and placed a Box Fan up against it and what do you know.... Motherboard temps even under full load did not exceed 28C and the CPU which usually runs in the 50's to low 60's under load didn't break 32C and even the GTX 750ti sc which usually goes as high as 76C didn't go above 62C.
Complete idle without box fan on average
MB - 38C
CPU - 32C
GPU - 32C / 40%Fan speed
Complete idle with box fan on average
MB - 27C
CPU - 29C
GPU - 26C / 40% Fan Speed
Under BF4 Full Load without box fan on average
MB - 58C
CPU - 60C
GPU - 72C
Under BF4 Full Load with box fan on average
MB - 27C
CPU - 32C
GPU - 58C
Now I know running it with a box fan is not recommended as dust will accumulate rather quickly. Though I have to say this was only an experiment for me to find out just how bad the airflow in this computer is. With that said it's freaking terrible lmao
