i opened up my computer and when i touch the motherboard, video card, and the heat sink, everything but the heat sink was hot enough to make me pull my hand away. how do i cool my computer down more?
Try not to touch electronics inside your computer, the static discharge, no matter how small, will ruin the delicate components.
You can take some canned air and blow all the dust out of the fans and vents in the case. If any fans aren’t spinning replace them. If your computer doesn’t have fans, get some. Best to have an intake fan pulling air into the front of the case and an exhaust fan pulling air out of the case in the rear. Also keep the lid on the case at all times or else the air wont circulate.
If you’re technologically inclined you can install a water cooling system (like me), but it’s not a simple task and very risky.
