Hello. A relative of mine has a custom-built computer. He is not the one that built it. It has a black Gigabyte motherboard, says AM3+ on it. I think the cooler is a Corsair H60.
This computer is always hot when it runs and if you run intensive tasks like a video game it shuts down on its own, probably because it gets too hot. I really don't know how these modern computers and coolers work but I don't see anything suspicious inside. I'm still in the fan-on-top-of-the-radiator-on-top-of-the-CPU age, so how these cooling devices with pumps and pipes work really elude me. I installed a fan fixed to the ceiling of the case hoping it would cool things down but it seems to have had practically no effect. Is the fan supposed to push air into the system or suck the system's air out?
Anyway I hope to get help here. Why does the computer get so hot? Inefficient cooling, broken part or a part installed improperly?
