My cpu (Intel core 2 duo E6400) has been running really hot (idle around 50 c) and i think it might be that the thermal paste is old. would applying new thermal paste make for better temperatures?
If so, do i have to scrape off the old paste first?
or could it be something else causing it to run so hot?
The heatsink came with it, and it's pretty crappy, but it still should cool it off lower than that...
Thanks
