I have an ideacentre g5 14imb05, it's not the best but it works for most things. I've ordered better storage and memory but there's still two issues; it gets really hot and loud, and it looks really ugly. I want to fix it but I don't know how.
Is there any way to upgrade the cooling?
would swapping the case be possible at all? (if so what case would be compatible?)

I'll appreciate any answers! (new to this forum so sorry if this is the wrong category or something :p)
 
if this looks like yours, it look all proprietary to me. the heatsink holes might be the right layout though, so a new heatsink that uses its own backplate might work. ad far as transplanting, it wont fit properly but i guess you might be able to make something work.

There's no salvaging that machine. Just take the CPU, RAM, GPU and storage out of it, throw the rest in a trash compactor and build a new machine without proprietary garbage parts.

If you want to stick with whatever 10th/11th gen Intel CPU it has, you'll need an LGA1200 motherboard.
