You can ignore step three then. I would think that between steps one and two, you will solve the heating issue.
A consideration I had not mentioned is that it's important to have adequate room around the PC for airflow which will help with cooling. Adding a case fan (or two) may also prove to be somewhat helpful
COD BO 1 >MP<
a little bit more info
I have a i5 2320 i run it at 3.0 ghz, GTX 550 Ti, 4gb of ddr3 1333mhz ram and i do not overclock it
is it normal for a cpu Temperature to go this high when the game loads up a map and all the cores load 100%
COD BO 1 MP i play it on all high g 1920X1080
i like to use oF
it went up to this today
core>3 181oF or 82OC) (core> 1&2&4 in the 170s oF) 210oF is the max or in oC 99oC
even when it is the lowest G 800x600 and in window mode it still does it that high but little bit lower in Temperature like in the 170oF
