Burning out my PC?

[Dan_OB]

Modern CPUs will shut themselves down if they start to get dangerously hot, so permanent damage is unlikely. But I wouldn't tempt fate. I'd try to get better ventilation for my computer. If all else fails taking the cover off your PC could help.

Ok, thanks for all the help!... I didn't want to wreck anything since this was a new computer. I also considered lowering the graphics settings a bit so the fan doesn't have to work so hard and the CPU doesn't get so hot during sailing...
