Re: How the hell do i cool down my pc
Firstly, have you checked out the cpu fan and heatsink for dust build up? 90% of the time rising/high temps are caused by dust build up. Check that the heatsink is making good contact with the cpu.
Secondly if you have cleaned out dust build up and the problem persists I would recommend remounting the cpu with Arctic Silver5 thermal compound and maybe even an after market cooler like a Zalman.
