My computer case is running a bit warm. A symptom my computer is having is that the graphics card sometimes shows a warning and then the graphics defaults to Windows instead of the card. I cleaned the inside of the case of dust, and this helped, but didn't solve the problem. Just now, I removed my modem card (does anyone still use modem cards ) that was blocking some of the video card's airflow and this dropped the temperature by 2 degrees celsius. Next I'm thinking about getting a slot fan to put by my video card.
Maybe that will draw out more hot air from the graphics card but I'm wondering how effective this would be. Will a slot fan really make much difference?
My video card has no fan, just a heat sink. My computer cpu temp is currently 53 degrees celsius.
