[QUOTE="fuz940510, post: 785058, member: 16289"] A thorough clean is a good start. Dust is a killer for the efficiency of heatsinks. It isn't really the best conductor of anything, so your fans have to ramp up to try get enough airflow through. Some compressed air will do wonders. Remember to clean it in a well ventilated area, as the amount of crap that gets kicked out can be quite unpleasant, and make an awful mess. Your case does have filters on the intake side, but no filter will stop all of the dust. Clean those out too, it will improve airflow. As to getting more cores active, there is nothing you can actively do about this, as this is up to the thread management of the process and the operating system. Another good idea - check through all of the running processes visible in task manager. If any of them seem suspicious, google the process name. I once had an issue with my GPU running at full tilt with no windows open - I had become part of someone elses bitcoin mining farm [/QUOTE]
