I know it's just a meme but if you have problems with overheating there are some things you can try without too much money like:

  • cleaning the fans and radiators
  • replacing the thermal paste
  • adding some fans if the case allows it
  • replacing the cooler with an after market version

I think anyone using a desktop that has overheating issues is likely to be over clocking.

I’ve never cleaned the dust out of a computer as I’m extremely allergic to dust and I have something that’s been running just find for the past 10 years.

I think overclocking is really not necessary today, what with cpus boosting indivual cores all by themselves depending on the load and all that. Just buy a decent cooler (no need for an expensive one) and let it do its thing.

Undervolting to get better temps at or near the same performance is where its at.
