It's been about 20 years since the last time I did it. All hail the gods of thermal conductivity!

Before: watching hd video in full screen VLC launched system towards 92C and fan spinning up to 7k.

After: same load, temp around 72, cooler at 5..6k rpm. stress-ng for 5 minutes couldn't heat it up by 90.

I also sprayed some lube on the cooler, more as an experiment.

I think it was worth it but also fun.
