The PC is quite clean inside - I'm assuming that the paste stuff must have dried out and not conducting the heat properly/the heatsink's crap and was only just staying the right side of the alarm temp when the weather was a bit cooler.

Anyhow, I appreciate that changing the cooler isn't without its risks - I can imaging what a big crack on the motherboard looks like - but I'm up for the risk - and it might even provide a great excuse for a new PC

So - back to the original Q - assuming it's the cooler, any recs ??
