I7 4790K runs hot during intense gaming sessions.
I recently upgraded to Windows 10 last week after spending nine years on Windows 7. I needed the change to play the games I wanted. Since the switch, everything feels off—nothing works as it did before. On Windows 7 I never faced issues, but now Windows 10 keeps crashing constantly. If it doesn’t fix itself, I’ll consider upgrading, but I’m holding off because I’m moving abroad next September and it feels like a waste of money right now.
Sure, I’d consider switching to a Linux distribution—I currently use Pop-OS. Proton has managed to make everything functional so far. The main issues it faces are Anti-Cheat and Adobe products.

Seek a superior cooler to address the extremely old and dried tim beneath the IHS. Or delist it and reapply, or try another option.
