    How about, instead of crying "OMG!!WTF!!HEAT!!"....
    Do the usual....blow out the dust bunnies, see what that does.
    Remove the sinks and apply some fresh thermal paste, see what that does.
    Are the fans dying? Do you have a rat's nest of cables blocking air flow?
    Are you sitting your PC next to a freakin' furnace?
    FFS...
    I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile.
    I will only complicate you. Trust in me and fall as well.
    I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave.
    I will work to elevate you just enough to bring you down.

    I haven't opend my case in ages, and I'll procrastinate until my PC melts.

    Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
