So there is no fan sucking air into/out of the system for the outside? That explain why the system is getting so hot. You should invest in a fan that can be places on the back of the system to suck air into the system and aid in the cooling process. Or get a water cooling system. Before you over heat they system and it becomes a nice door stop/paper weight.

You mean this one right? Sorry I didnt post it earlier , I completly forgot there's that fan also, lol.
And yeah that fan is working...

So all 3 fans are working I thin kthe ammount of thermal paste i applied is correct too , not too much and not too little =/

I did change some settings tho not long ago in my pc , cause I watched some videos on how to improve fps in video games and did what they said , so maybe that's the reason why i have issues with fps and lags lately..? idk

Trying to fix a hardware problem (temps too high) with a software solution (formatting) doesn't work.

I have side of the pc open all the time

That's not good. It disrupts the air flow and might add more dust to the computer. Cases were designed so the fans could work properly with the sides on.

No the fan you posted in post # 28 is the on the power supply you need and should have a fan for the system that is attached to the back of the case.

Look just to the left of the CPU there should be a fan there that should expels air from the system to aid in cooling the system off. Which explains why the system is getting hot.

Would it be bad if i just simply put a "normal" fan right next to it?

Also , I just turned PC on like a hour ago and noticed that GPU fan isnt moving again lol

I run two computers with the side panel off.
I also have run a household/desktop fan directly into the tower.
They don't get much more dust as the household/desktop fan cools everything and blows any dust out.
If your not going to fit a fan as advised left of the CPU as Rusty suggested, then a household/desktop fan is your next best bet.
