Is it ok if your pc gets hot?

Anything under 60 degrees C (140 degrees F) is perfect. Just above this temperature is okay, but as you creep above 70 degrees C (158 degrees F), you should look at how to cool your PC down. Above 81 degrees C (178 degrees F) is too hot and could cause damage to your computer if you run it for a sustained period.

Why is my pc so hot?
Check the filters over the fans and make sure they are clean. Then check the fan on the power supply to see that it is operating properly. Also check the temperature of the air being drawn into the computer. Sometimes nearby equipment such as laser printers will be blowing hot air into the computer's air intakes.

Does a hot pc run slower?
Excessive heat lowers the electrical resistance of objects, therefore increasing the current. In addition, slowdown is a result of overheating. Components can shut down when overheated and the motherboard temperature sensor instructs hardware such as the hard drive and processor to slow down.
