What really surprised me was the noise!

I have had the same 'box and guts' for about 7 years now. For the last few years, the fan noise had gotten to be quite noticeable, but I never thought much about it until I put Windows 10 with a new SSD on it a few months back. Windows 10 installed a demo version of Minecraft which I found to be amusing enough to buy. The game was fun, but I noticed that the fans would really spin up after a few minutes followed a few minutes later by a faint burning smell followed quickly by an instant system shutdown. WTF | :WTF:

I installed a hardware monitor and found that the CPU temps were reaching over 270F! After a thorough cleaning, the hw monitor showed the CPU temps maintaining less than 150F and the reduction in noise was huge! Now, I hardly hear it at all. Smile | :)
