it’s an open space. it’s awkward because my desk isn’t a proper desk it’s a heavy cabinet, was the only place in my room to put the PC. the plugs are to the side and the gap is really narrow so it’s a pain to unplug it and plug things back in

If you can’t reach the plugs, most likely the air around them is recycling through that space getting hotter. Put a box fan over there and see if your temps improve.

At a LAN party (yes I’m that old) a dude came in with a box fan ziptied to the side, like it was a case side.
I didn’t think to ask about orientation though. As in, push or pull for airflow.
Whatever, it worked for him.

I had to open the side of my case and point a fan at it to finish some wow related dungeon stuff like in 2010 in the french summer heat or my E8400 would crash.
Cleaned it out and found a mat of dust under the CPU fan.
