Use PC without fans

Hello,

My motherboard is [Asus B550M-A Prime Wi-Fi II & Bluetooth (DDR4)], inside a pc case without case fans now.

How long can I use it safely without overheating or damage anything?

I have a clip fan and a handheld fan, which one would be good to use to blow towards the motherboard? Would it act like case fan?

Thanks

Whether or not those fans will help, or be any use at all, depends on your temperatures.
What case do you have?

This is what Speccy looks like...





Generally, if the temp indicators are green, you're OK.




You absolutely should have case fans though.
At minimum, a front intake and a rear exhaust.

This case ML11

The green square right most is the temperature indicator? Why my temp are so much higher than yours? Is it safe to continue to use? Still green indicators Imgur: The magic of the Internet

Would it help to reduce the temperature if I use a normal fan or clip fan or handheld fan to blow air into the opened cover pc case now? Is it necessary?

Would it help to lower the temperature if I use 2 hours and let pc sleep windows start>power>sleep to let it cool down 15mins then use again?

39C is still quite far from 75C

I did not know the case does not come with fans, need some time to get fans.

You need to arrange your fans in a specific order. The GPU fan ( the one that looks like one fan from the bottom that sucks in
and fans in the back the pushes out ) does not matter how it is arranged as long as heat is not being pushed against it. You
could literally stack these kinds. However a GPU with five or six fans visible needs the flow and kind of a set-back in technological advancements because you need space between. Meaning bigger cases.

Usually the front fan blows in ( I guess ), the sealed case makes a type of vacuum, usually exiting through the
PSU fan, extra back-fan, or topside fan ( hot air rises ), Point being the direction of heat moves faster via the
pressure and uniformed direction of air. The Air has to come from one end. The same could be demonstrated when
using a vacuum hose in close quarters limiting the area/space for the air to get pulled from creating a faster pull.
Same with using your fingers on a hose or pipe with running water. But this is air we are talking about.

About ways to cool your computer without a fan.

1. Liquid metal

Game systems like the PS4 uses liquid metal rather then special paste normally used. However

2. The heat is carried via liquid pipes, and from that it would be a fan.

3. The type of metal that is being used and the overall purpose of the
machine also affects the usage. Like the new apple M2 desktops that
portable ( because they use ARM like most phones..Apple literally put
a bunch of ARM chips on a board ), this new computer does not contain
a fan inside of it. If it does then it is unnoticeable.

That being said the kind of metal ( Heat sink ), and the direction in which heats travels
is going to affect the need for a fan or other cooling method. Apple has tried this a
couple of times in the past.

The problem with no fans is going to come down to the GPU. The new Apple also has an
add-on board in case you want to install a big GPU ( with usable drivers of course if any ).
Not sure with surprises you will get with that because it defeats the purpose of it being portable.
