Far out mate. A little punctuation would go down well
.
To the OP. First off, no need to be taking off the heat sink just yet.
Take the side cover off the case and have a look at the fins on the heat sink. If it is full of dust, clean it out completely using a small artist's brush, or some compressed air.
If it is not full of dust, check that the fan is turning when you start the pc up.
If you still have problems, post back.
