I find that with many overheating CPUs these days, the problem is that
most PC cases come with an air intake in the side panel, with a hood
(or extendable tube) inside that, when the case is closed, sits directly
over the CPU fan. This ensures that the CPU fan draws in the cool air from
the outside of the case, rather than just recycle the warm air inside the
case over and over again.
When you buy the PC case, this hood is generally collapsed, and needs
to have its length adjusted (by pulling it out, unscrewing it, or
whatever)
so that it extends to just over the CPU fan. I find that many of the more
sloppy PC integrators don't bother to do so, and some DIY PC builders
don't
seem to realize the importance of this hood being adjusted properly.
I find many overheating PC's this days that don't have the cooling air
intake tube and/or hood properly adjusted. Two minutes is generally enough
to fix the problem.
