Hi, I noticed my pre-built PC has been running hotter lately. The CPU temps have climbed to 110-125°F (43-52°C) without any performance issues, and it's also getting louder while operating. I've been cleaning it monthly, just did it yesterday, but the problem persists. I checked online but didn't find a solution. When I first turned it on, it was around 80°F (27°C), though it tends to rise quickly. No visible screen problems except for the increased temperature and noise. If you have any advice, please share!

My system is set up for performance, and during gaming or under heavy loads like Cinebench R23, my temperatures remain stable.

the processor stays coolest right after powering up because it hasn't been running yet. once active, temperatures increase. detailed specifications available upon request.

CPU: Intel 11th Gen i5-11600KF RAM: 16 GB Hyper X Fury (2 sticks of 8GB) GPU: EVGA RTX 3060 12GB CPU Case: Be Quiet Pure Base 500DX ATX Mid tower case Cooling: cooler master MASTERLIQUID 240 MM PSU: Cooler master V SFV Gold 850 Performance: Cinebench The temperatures remain consistent during idle, single core around 1,500 multi-core above 10,000 My cooling handled the situation well, giving me more confidence, though I’m now worried about the recent spikes.

Operating at maximum capacity produces significantly more heat than when idle or navigating, making it unsuitable for temperatures around 30°C.
