Hello. Recently my computer got a warning message, Intel Rapid Storage Technology said my hard drives status was failed. since then my recordings have started to glitch. I use an Elgato Game Capture HD and a few computer programs like FRAPS, and mirillis action to record my videos. The elgato glitch isn't too bad, but sometimes it will randomly glitch and skip footage, also desyncing the gameplay from the audio. Mirillis has started to speed up my footage or cut parts of it out altogether. I am not sure if this is because of the Intel warning or something else. my system has an issue with heating up quite badly when recording or rendering. i can touch part of it and it will be quite hot. is this a hard drive issue, or could it just be i need to clean my fans? I havent cleaned them yet since obtaining the computer last year. I want to figure out this issue so I can fix it asap
From what it sounds like is that your computer is overheating, Your Hard drives aren't getting
Enough Ventilation from your fans in your current system, I'd recommend upgrading your Case fans, use as many as you can fill your case with, typically 12 would suffice to get a great deal of air moving.
But in your case, roughly 2 in the front, 2 on top, and 1 in the rear should do the trick, I'd also recommend upgrading your current CPU Heat Sink or Liquid Cooler(AIO) they might need replacing if a year old, sometimes Heat Sinks are durable and last years on, and sometimes if you have a high end liquid cooler it will last more than a few years, but generally you might need to get a high end air cooler and stick with that.
To check out your hardware temperature, I'd recommend using
Hardware Monitor it's a free download tool to show you the temperatures in your system(MB, CPU, GPU, HDD, SSD, ect.) Tell me your Temp's and I'll assist you with lowering them.
Best of luck!
