Give geeks the best machine and still they will go ahead and add their own---to boost the speed of certain components in their system. Though overclocking increases the speed of the hardware much beyond the original standard specs, but it also jeopardizes the cooling system, which was configured for the specs provided. The danger, the cooling system is incapable of supporting the higher speed (which generates higher energy) and the components start to melt.
What you do to cool it---Dunk it in cooking oil. When you are not using the oil to fry your potatoes, take the can and pour oil on your components. And, according to Markus Leonhardt it works. Though, he used his homemade case to carry out the experiment. It is better to ask your machine maker, “Is your case friendly to oil?” Slippery, messy and incessant worry of a leak, but is there a better cooling method. If yes, let me know---before one of my friends increases his components speed.
