Hello! Here are some tips for your PC issues.
Lately your system has been acting strangely while playing games like RYSE, Far Cry 4, and Battlefield 4. Even though everything seemed fine before, today your PC lagged noticeably.

Possible reasons could be:
- You haven’t shut down the computer for a while (maybe days).
- There might be outdated drivers causing performance drops.
- You’re feeling heat near the GPU and CPU, which can affect stability.

What you can try:
1. Restart your PC and check if the problem persists.
2. Update all drivers, especially graphics and chipset.
3. Ensure proper ventilation around the GPU and CPU.
4. Consider cleaning dust from vents and fans.
5. If heat is an issue, use a cooling pad or improve airflow.

Let me know if you need more details or help with specific steps!

Shut down the computer and let it sit for an hour or two. Everything should return to normal. Note: Your PC is running slowly because of excessive heat. Turn it off and do another task. Also, keeping it on continuously isn't safe for your hardware.

Enhance ventilation in your space. Activate the air conditioner when the room gets warm.

Verify CPU temps via RealTemp Link. Monitor GPU temps using GPU-Z under Sensors. Did you attempt overclocking? Which cooler is installed on your CPU?

I got the GPU-z and it looks like I need to keep the GPU cool. There aren't any extra fans, just two from the case. Can you advise me on handling the heat coming from the CPU fan? It seems it might be affecting the mainboard near the GPU. Should I get more fans to prevent this? I haven’t overclocked anything—everything I bought is fine. Thanks for your help!

What is the exact temperature? Also, is this a reference card? For CPU Cooling, buy a cooler, like a Hyper 212 EVO (its less than 30$ on Amazon) And CPU temps?
