I recently upgraded my GPU, and since then my computer has been very hot around the motherboard when playing games. The fans also make loud, unsettling sounds in short bursts. (10-20 seconds)
I downloaded GPU Temp and realized that my card was fairly cool, never really surpassed 60c while gaming.
Today I decided to open the side panel and start the computer to get a better look at the air flow and see what exactly is heating up so much.
Seems like the motherboard is the hottest as far as I'm aware. The GPU and PSU are in the coolest area of the computer. Any ideas on what could be causing this?
