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 identify components or areas experiencing excessive heat.
  3. 3
    Common causes include dried-out thermal paste, poor case airflow, or an inadequate CPU cooler.
  4. 4
    If thermal paste is the issue, carefully remove the CPU cooler, clean the old paste from both the CPU and cooler, apply new paste, and reattach the cooler.
  5. 5
    If airflow is poor, consider adding more case fans or ensuring existing fans are correctly oriented.
  6. 6
    If the CPU cooler is insufficient, replace it with a more powerful one (e.g., an AIO liquid cooler).
  7. 7
    After making changes, use the OCCT software (accessible via the tablet's 'Apps' tab) to stress test the CPU and GPU.
  8. 8
    Monitor temperatures during the stress test to ensure they remain within acceptable limits.
  9. 9
    Deliver the PC once stable temperatures are confirmed.
Tips
  • Always check the thermal paste condition during CPU cooler removal, even if it's not the primary suspected cause.
  • Ensure all case fans are installed and oriented correctly for optimal airflow (intake and exhaust).
  • Higher-end CPUs and GPUs generate more heat, requiring more robust cooling solutions.
  • Don't forget to reconnect all necessary power cables after removing/replacing components.
