CPU Overheats when playing StarCraft

Reapply thermal compound to the CPU - some low quality compound can really degrade over time reducing effective heat transfer from die to sink.

Best thing is to combine this with your dust bunny hunt inside the system

Jam it back in, in the dark.

@DeLorean: Make sure you're potential-free when working on your system (microelectronics in general). There are some gadgets like antistatic wrist straps but I think it suffices to ground yourself before starting to work. And make sure you don't work on any surface that could potentially charge you (my slippers in combination with the synthetic carpet my parents have produces quite a "electrifying" experience...)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Framerate isn't a linear performance indicator:
FPS Versus Frame Time

That's why comparing framerates doesn't give you a good picture about performance improvement / degradation.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
