I'd like to watercool it sometime with a custom loop. It'll be damn tight in this case but maybe it can be done.
OS reinstall March 2022
Some notes on doing this. I've been seeing too many BSODs to be healthy, and the underlying cause is either kernel or Ntfs.sys with a roughly even split. I'd like to try out Win11 anyway, and a clean install would be best for that.
I've just bought a new PCIe 4.0 SSD to use, and an external USB M.2 enclosure so I can grab data from the old drive later if needed.
Uninstall everything
Remove as many apps as possible to ensure there's less to worry about later.
Manually save stuff that's not in a default location, mostly in %appdata%/../Local/
