Last night my computer shut down and I realized it was hot. Wasn't doing anything but surfing. At any rate, I took the case apart dusted/canned aired everything out. No change, so I removed and reapplied Arctic Silver 5 (six times) and it idles at about 47C but even at 20% load I'm getting 70-72C. I'm not sure what else to check. Is that too hot? It seems too hot to me. I also keep cleaning and reapplying the thermal to make sure I got it right.
