| Mar 5, 2015 at 14:57 | comment | added | Davidenko | @Ramhound Don't be so sure. My friend had AMD's apu processor, vent broke down after he cleaned it with vacuum cleaner, CPU was working fine 10-15 minutes but when he tried to watch a movie it went up fast! Amazingly cooler start working again next day :D | |
