you need to get a larger copper heatsink (and heat paste) on that with the fan running at about 2600 or less is nice and quiet.
for your encoding, you should look to nothing but the core or an x2 these days of AVC and HD encoding and even then, its going to be slower than realtime for the HD encoding

So your recommending that he gets a new cooler for the processor he's thinking about changing because its "way to hot" even though its been on 99% of the time for the last 5-6 years (and by all accounts running fine).
Good advice...
