That is a nice thought, though the shitty "2006 prebuilt"-tier CPU
cooler I was using in the middle of a global heatwave (I don't even
have AC (;´Д`)) while trying to run a game that seemed to double as a
CPU torture test probably didn't help...
I did buy a l33t cooler for it, but I couldn't install it - the back-
plate from the old one is stuck to the motherboard with some kind of
strong adhesive, and it seemed like I might break something if I used
any more force to try and remove it (;´Д`)
