Beyond CPU and GPU: Four Overlooked PC Components That Need Thermal Monitoring
PC thermal management extends far beyond just CPU and GPU temperatures, according to hardware analysts. New reports indicate that VRMs, NVMe SSDs, DDR5 RAM, and motherboard chipsets can all cause significant performance problems when overheating.
The Hidden Thermal Threats in Your Computer
While much attention focuses on CPU and GPU temperatures, hardware analysts suggest several other critical components can cause system instability, performance degradation, and reduced lifespan when overheating. According to reports, neglecting these components’ thermal performance can lead to unexplained performance dips, data transfer slowdowns, and even hardware failure.
