Just as a little bit of advice..  Make sure that there isn't dust in
your cpu heat sink... and even if there isn't much dust, dust can cling
to the blades of the heat sink preventing air flow and seriously limiting
the ability of the heat sink to work...

/me just had a computer randomly crash due to this.
