  • Thank you for your answer. I think you're right about the cooler/thermal paste, as the ventilator is on full power the whole time, yet it does not cool the CPU sufficiently. If I buy a new ventilator, which would be best suited for my CPU (price is not an issue)

    Product recommendations are not allowed on our site. In any case, renewing the thermal paste involves reseating the CPU and is best handled by a professional. This will also probably void the warranty, so is best done via their Support.

  • Yeah, reapplying the thermal paste would definitely be my first suggestion too. I doubt you can void warranty in this case because thermal paste will almost always last for more than 2 years before it needs to be reapplied, which would be after the warranty period has voided already. But if you never build a pc on your own, it is indeed best to let someone reapply it that has the experience.

  • @LPChip: Thermal paste problem within the warranty period could mean defective assembly. Some computers, mostly laptops, may have stickers that opening may void guarantee, but I agree that without such a sticker this is "probably" ok.
