I know it's just a meme but if you have problems with overheating there are some things you can try without too much money like:
I think anyone using a desktop that has overheating issues is likely to be over clocking.
I’ve never cleaned the dust out of a computer as I’m extremely allergic to dust and I have something that’s been running just find for the past 10 years.
Dust buildup is normal, especially if someone has pets. Because of your allergy you probably keep the area around your computer cleaner than most people!
In the land before time I did PC maintenance and sometimes you could remove dust from under a CPU fan in one single piece because it was matted together ... nasty, but very satisfying when you've finished cleaning and the computer just whirrs happily afterwards :-)
