Forget PC Probe numbers. I do not mean a chipset temp, i
mean the actual temperatures of ALL parts in the system.
You can use a thermometer of some sort or touch-test with
your finger, or go overkill on airflow to be sure everything
is beyond a reasonable margin.

That the CPU is so hot is a sign "something" is wrong. Fix
that something, instead of looking at software.
