So, I got a mini PC

The spec is entry level class

Pentium g3220 running at default clock with stock cooler
2x2gig RAM
a 500 gig HDD
a PSU
Case is Jonsbo v3+

From what I read, the max temp for g3220 is 75 C, in room temp, on normal usage like browsing the web and downloading, the cpu temp hit 50~ C

Run some games like Upturn or Magicka, it instantly hit more than 75C

So, any suggestions?

I'm using CPUID HWMonitor to monitor the temp
In idle position it hit 50C

CPU heatsink is already placed firmly, I assured that
I think the problem is the airflow

There is 4 40mm fan slot at the back of the case, will it make significant change?

What orientation do you have your PSU in? You could flip it so the intake is pointed towards the CPU to exhaust that warm air. Also if you don't plan on a GPU they make PCI exhaust fans that will expel hot air as well. Let me know if you figured something out, because I was l was looking to build a similar setup.
