Yeah, sometimes you have to think about the whole system instead of the detailed problem! 
Is yours sorted now?

Yeah it is. It costed me $200 and a day and a half of swearing to sort it though. On the plus side I got a beautiful new case that's glass on 4 sides.

If it were me, the first thing I'd do is look at your case to see if you can attach more and bigger fans.
If you have furry pets you may want to invest in a new chassis so you don't have to cut holes in it and let dog/cat hair in.

If you go for the hole solution, don't us a drill. Rush out to your nearest hardware store - they're always deserted on a Saturday afternoon - and get a hole punch. They leave a way nicer hole and are easy to operate - guide hole with the drill, drop in the punch, connect up, a dozen turns of the hex wrench and you have a nice clean round hole.
I have used these things for years, mainly for putting extra cooling holes in Hi-Fi gear - my sitting room can hit 35°C in the summer, and takes a lot longer to cool in the evening than the outside does.

I had a problem with the
GPU overheating, shutting down the display. Only solution was off, on.
Finally I just opened the window behind my desk a shade. Problem solved, at least until summertime and 100 F heat gets here.
Then, I activated WsL and started using Ubunt. Much easier on the system.

My Microsoft store game would lock up sometimes. I found out that MS will update the app even "while" you're playing ... starts losing color, slows, but doesn't actually quit. You save and restart when the update is over ... if you notice that's what's happening.
Even VS will get funny after long sessions; wouldn't erase old compiler messages until I reloaded (today).

I take it your cpu is cooled by a fixed heatsink that blows the hot air around in the case. In addition to added ventilation, You may want to consider a closed-loop liquid cooler. Put it on the top, blowing up, and point all other case fans inward. The cpu's hot air will no longer heat up anything else, and the positive pressure will help cool everything else - even reducing hot air leaving the gpu through gaps in the shroud. There are some who say it is better to put the radiator on the front blowing inward, which means a cooler cpu but warmer inside compared to top-mount; but in your case especially, since your cpu is not overheating with a fixed heatsink while internal temperature is the problem, that tradeoff would be going the wrong way.

A few hours ago, someone posted on the fallout 4 subreddit. he was posting from Kyiv.
This wasn't a post about the game, to be clear. He was talking about jumping when snow fell from his neighbor's window. He's talking about stockpiling potable water, which can also be used to shelter from gunfire.
This brought the war home for me in a way that reading about it elsewhere hasn't. I can't even wrap my head around it.
There was a time when my country wouldn't have let something like this happen, but apparently we aren't at that place anymore.
How in the hell did it come to this? (rhetorical, i don't want to engage in petty politics on this)

Honestly? After 50 years of Eurocommies pissing on the USA and their interventionist policies, I'd hope the US will stay on their own and not give a flying duck.

We convinced Ukraine to give up their nukes in exchange for protection. Ukraine has acted in good faith toward the west, being democratic, following the rules for joining NATO, and honoring their agreements. We're morally obligated to honor ours.
That's all I'm going to say about this.

In many ways, it's kind of remarkable that it's been so peaceful. The history of the humanity is full of war more often than not. Or maybe it'd be more accurate to say that the violence is safely confined to Iraq and Afghanistan and other countries that don't matter as much to the Western narrative

Given that Russia is now bombing Kyiv, I fully understand the concern.
As for how it came to this, Putin stated a couple of decades ago that the fall and breakup of the Soviet Union was the worst geopolitical disaster to occur in the 20th century.

I don't mean Putin's motivations. He's something of a known quantity.
But he didn't just decide to invade one day. This didn't happen in a vacuum.
In my opinion, the US particularly - though not alone - dropped the ball, and Putin saw weakness, and an opportunity.

I'm not defending what's happened, and probably as pissed as you are; but we had as much ability to stop Putin from invading Ukraine now as we did to stop Brezhnev from invading Afghanistan in 1979: None. Nuclear armed states can do WT![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) they want because the risk of direct military confrontation is so high.
We can hurt Russia back with sanctions; but the odds of those convincing Putin to stop or him being deposed are negligible.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I disagree with that. He didn't just one day decide to invade. Putin invaded because of what transpired in the US and the west more largely over the past several years. He was feeling his oats.

Of course not. It's been brewing for several years. See:
