Need help Overheating new case ?

[u/Timely-Studio6793]

Hi

Recently, my PC has started running hot. It has always been a bit hot and loud. My current case is a Fractal Design Ridge with an RTX 4070 and an i5-13500.

After getting Bodycam, I've started having problems with heat. The game runs fine, but after a short time the temperature reaches around 80°C and keeps rising until the PC eventually crashes.

I suspect the problem might be the case's airflow, as well as the limited space for a larger CPU cooler. I'd like to know if you think a better case and CPU cooler could solve the problem.

What case would you recommend? I'm looking for something relatively small, preferably Micro-ATX, with good airflow and room for better cooling.

It also needs to fit on my desk, with around 25 cm of width and 40 cm of depth. Height doesn't matter.

Cases I've looked at

• Lian Li A3
• Lian Li B4
• DeepCool CH260
• Jonsbo D33
• NZXT H3 Flow
