The temperatures on my i7 have been quite high recently(Around 75 degrees celcuis max) I tried a number of methods to make it cooler but none seem to work. I do not want to buy a better cooler.

I tried using intel precision tool to underclock it to 2.7 ghz except it froze and crashed the computer, and on restart went right back to 3.5. I tried disabling 2 of the cores, but that did nothing as the 2 active cores still ran hot. The only effective method I have done was disable turbo boost but that hasn't done much.

Is there anything else that I can do to make the i7 have lower temps? Thanks

But as I wait for the shipping, which will take around a week, what can be a temporarily solution to the high temperatures?
