NO excessive fan noise. I had the back off while
changing disks and
were pretty clean. Yes.. I could add temp monitoring to see if they are
being throttled.
Thermal paste can get hard and stop conducting heat. Also, the heatpipes
can fail and quit moving the heat from the processor or GPU over to the
heat exchanger (the little radiator and fan.) Both will cause CPU to
throttle way down.
See if it's an issue, if so may need to remove the heatpipe setup or
heatsink and respooge it.
