Heating and Cooling Problems
Heat can be a problem in any high-performance system.
The higher speed processors normally consume more power and therefore
generate more heat.
The processor is usually the single most power-hungry chip in a system,
and in most situations, the fan inside your computer case might
not be capable of handling the load without some help.
