Comment on 7 year old PC. CPU is getting WICKED hot (up to 100 C) while playing games. is there any software that can underclock/undervolt it?
good idea. will give that a try too thx!
At a LAN party (yes I’m that old) a dude came in with a box fan ziptied to the side, like it was a case side.
I didn’t think to ask about orientation though. As in, push or pull for airflow.
Whatever, it worked for him.
I had to open the side of my case and point a fan at it to finish some wow related dungeon stuff like in 2010 in the french summer heat or my E8400 would crash.
Cleaned it out and found a mat of dust under the CPU fan.
