So I've had this PC for 9 or so years and about a year ago this problem arose to where my CPU was overheating when only playing games (reaches over 90 degrees, peaks at 100, 60 or so when not playing games)[Currently I stopped playing games on my PC and I now only use it for web browsing]. Decided now to finally open it up to see what the problem could be and lo and behold my CPU is fried. Not totally fried but enough to leave an imprint on my stock cooler [BTW I'd post pics but this computer I'm using right now won't recognize my phone].
Would it be safe to clean the CPU and cooler with isopropyl alcohol then reapply some thermal paste to it? Just wondering if there are any risks involved. I don't plan on keeping it much longer anyway, I plan on building a new one (and I'll make damned sure that I take better care of it.
