    Computer girls and guys and enbies, I call ye!

    I'm building my first computer. All the components are in. I have no idea how to make sure it's cool (as in temp lol). I've never built one

      thermal paste on CPU/under heatsinks, keep the case under positive pressure, clean fans and filters regularly to prevent buildup. You got this :)

      Depending on motherboard you can check the temp via the bios when the computer boots up. You can also download HWiNFO64 and that'll give you sensor readouts to check cpu and component temperatures

      Choose your fan placement and direction so that you have good airflow across the interior of the case and you don’t end up with the air just swirling around in certain places.
