Why is my cpu so hot?
Hello. Your case contains three fans and you've installed older parts. Some applications indicate the CPU is overheating around 100°C with the cooler spinning rapidly. This could be normal behavior or a sign of an issue. After opening the PC about ten minutes ago, only uTorrent and Chrome are running. The CPU is an Intel Core i7 4790, which isn't overclocked. It seems the fan speed might be too low, or there could be thermal throttling. Checking the Hardware Monitor and CPUID HWmonitor video should help clarify. If you haven't applied thermal paste recently, it might affect cooling performance.
The stock cooler looks like it’s in bad shape, but it shouldn’t be this damaged. It might be due to a mounting problem, poor airflow, or maybe the thermal paste has dried out completely.
Stop using the torrent service and try something else like TIXATI. Resetting the computer usually solves most problems—see if the issue persists.
You're asking for clarification about a design feature. It involves a side panel constructed from tempered glass. This is the intended detail.
