Assuming still not sorted, have you cleaned the heatsink?


No. It looked quite ok.

Some designs accumulate much better than a Dyson/Henry/Miele/write in
your own favourite. A surprisingly small amount of dust/dirt in the
wrong place can reduce effective cooling in that area. You did clean it
thoroughly when you took it out, didn't you?


No again.

(I saw you had clreaned off the thermal paste - maybe you meant to say
that you had cleaned the whole thing? Apologies if you have already
completed your housekeeping badge.)


I will do just that now.
