One of my computers have a strange CPU heat problem. After I installed a few games it started to get very hot. And when I say hot, I meen around 60 degrees. I know this is normal on a fan-cooled computer, but this is a full custom liquid cooled computer. Before this problem occurred the CPU never got higher then 35-40 degrees. This problem occurres as soon as I start a game, program or spotify. Does someone have any idea what the problem might be?
