At first everything was fine with this prebuilt I had until the summer came. Especially playing warzone, was shutting my pc down due to overheating. This happened in the pandemic, I was a bit tight financially, so I had to be creative. I found some older fans and some usb micro cables i had, cut and connected them with each other and then connected the fans via the usb ports at the backside. It wasn’t a clean or silent job, but it did the job. I was able to continue gaming warzone for this summer. Note that this “gaming” pc from hp has only one fan for the cooling and it has a custom motherboard. So to transfer my system into a new case required a new Motherboard, PSU and CPU cooler and of course the case. I wanted this to be done until the next summer, finances were getting better but not quite as good as before so I went for a budget build. After building the pc I was happy with the cooling results but not quite with the look of it, so I started fixing everything step by step until I was.

After things got better in general i started upgrading parts, started with the gpu and last upgrade was the m.2 ssd and the ram. Next upgrade has to be the psu to a 80Plus gold and the cpu cooler.

This was quite the trip, it was also my first AIO installation so I forgot the pump and went crazy for a second when my pc shut down due to overheating again a bit after the first boot in the new case 😅

P.S. Avoid pre builded Gaming PCs like this.

    Hello Embarrassed_Quiet7, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
    We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!

    To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!

    Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!
