Alright, so I've had this PC starting on close to Six years. The only part I've ever upgraded was the GPU.
Anyway, this sturdy beast has been chugging along this whole time with not many issues, but within the last 6 months or so I've noticed the things are just running slower... which I know just "happens" as things get older, but this is like especially bad. I didn't really start to take notice until games that used to run fine suddenly started running like trash.
So, this is happening and it's upsetting but I get by... and then my PC just starts shutting down randomly. Now I recognize this as a heating problem so I check my Hardware Monitor and yeah, my CPU is around 200º F.
In fact here's how it's running right now:
So, I'm thinking maybe just buying a new CPU fan (Hyper EVO?), hoping that fixes a little bit of the problem until I can afford a better PC. The main reason I'm typing all this is to ask what the community thinks I should do? You know other than "get a new PC" because that's already on the list.
Would it be pointless to just buy a new CPU fan? Any other suggestions?
