Learn how to diagnose and fix PC overheating issues in PC Building Simulator 2. This guide covers using the thermal camera, replacing thermal paste, and upgrading cooling solutions.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Accept the 'Overheating Issues' job from Jessica.
  2. 2
    Use the Thermal Camera tool to scan the PC and identify components that are running too hot.
  3. 3
    Inspect the identified components. Common causes for overheating include:
    • Dried or insufficient thermal paste on the CPU or GPU.
  4. 4
    Poor case airflow due to dust buildup or inadequate fans.
  5. 5
    A failing CPU cooler or case fans.
  6. 6
    Based on your diagnosis, perform the necessary actions:
    • If thermal paste is the issue, remove the cooler, clean the old paste, apply new thermal paste, and reinstall the cooler.
  7. 7
    If airflow is poor, use the Air Compressor tool to clean dust from fans and heatsinks, and consider adding more case fans.
  8. 8
    If a fan or cooler is failing, order a compatible replacement from the shop and install it.
  9. 9
    Once repairs are made, close the PC case.
  10. 10
    Run the OCCT software (available on your tablet's 'Apps' tab) to stress test the CPU and GPU. Monitor temperatures to ensure they are within acceptable ranges.
  11. 11
    If temperatures are stable, deliver the PC to Jessica to complete the job.
Tips
  • Always ensure you have enough thermal paste and compatible fans/coolers in stock or order them promptly.
  • Pay attention to fan orientation for optimal airflow.
  • Don't forget to run the stress test; it's crucial for confirming the fix.
