I've got a gaming PC that's about two years old and it usually handles the games I play just fine. Lately, though, I've noticed that the fans are getting super loud, and when I checked the temperature while playing Dead Space Remake, it was at a shocking 93°C! That's really high, right? I was wondering if this could be due to dust build-up. I have cleaned some dust out, but there still seems to be a bit on the fan blades. Here are my specs for reference: Corsair 3000D RGB case, AMD Ryzen 5 7600X processor, AMD Sapphire 7800XT Nitro graphics card, and so on. What could be causing the overheating?

It sounds like your cooler might not be sufficient for your build. You could look into upgrading to something like the Peerless Assassin or Phantom Spirit dual tower coolers for better thermal performance.
I paid a company to build it, so I'm surprised they didn't use a decent cooler.
