Is your computer slow because of overheating?

Every electronic component within your computer outputs heat which is why you’d constantly hear the hum of the fans within the case. Due to a variety of reasons (which I’ll go into) a computers components can begin to overheat which puts unnecessary strain on them. This can have a ton of bad effects on your PC (your components can literally melt if it’s hot enough) but the first noticeable effect will be the slowing down of your PC as it tries to cope with the added strain.
