My computer was doing an image save of my hard drive to a second hard drive. (Gparted)

I have done that many times.

But I heard some unusual sounds coming from my computer case.

So I took off one of the side panels and could feel some heat that seemed uncharacteristically high.

I put a thermometer in and it read around 100 degrees F.

After the process, the temp went to around 80 degrees.

Do I need to be concerned?

Thanks,
Andy

Find the fan that isn't spinning ?

Does your power supply provide the only exhaust on
the back of the PC ? Is there a separate fan for venting
hot air ? Is there an intake vent near the front of the PC ?
