with the cover on you can't see most of them, just the effect, actually looks pretty cool. but even with the damn cover off it runs hot. can thermal paste go bad?

i haven't fucked with that processor in like a year

46 can still be ok, my old Athlon XPs used to run in the 40s idle and mid to upper 50s max load, not sure what could cause that change in yours though...

There might be excess rice blocking air circulation.

lower the clock speed back to stock. I know you got that sob up high + the voltage. Do you have a case temp sensor?
