Computer overheating and shutting down

[BeachAV8R]

Just ordered some thermal paste. Will scrape off the old and apply new.

@Fridge is tsk-tsk-tsking from 6 years in the past…

MSI Trident X (impressions thread)

I think that the only thing I would be paranoid about is that the CPU/Heatsink connection has a good, even layer of that thermal paste. Any voids and it means a less than ideal connection.
