ever noticed how heatsinks without fans are huge?

if a heatsink gets hot, the only surfaces that will cool are the outside, as the inside fins will simply radiate the heat around each other!

Well, get some spray duster, get the crap out of the case...

re apply thermal paste (no point paying £5 for 5 ml, go to your motor factors and get some copper slip.. its better)

install speedfan and watch...

just out of curiosity, what CPU you got? AMD average out at 70-90 and intel at 65 degree...
