First two are very successful.
This is an interesting project for sure.
I wouldn't worry about CPU temp so much. With the machine running full tilt for a long time it just will be warmer - in the case, in the room it's in and so on. I used to run my old Q6600 at way above the temp most ran it at and it survived for 6 years before I gave it away.
This is a first gen APU (A10-5600k) with a ton of issues, and is currently 20c over spec idle and can push 100c with minimal load, photoshop, browser, video, etc. Max temp mean is 65c and I idle at 60-65c. My temperature is very cool as I live in a RV with the AC unit running on the PC in the loft (due to my medical condition my skin doesn't feel well and I run hot so I need it to sleep). Being sudden too, and showing signifigantly in TG render computation, It's safe to assume a CPU issue has occurred, whether be thermal paste related or something, hopefully not the unit itself. Definitely nothing I need to risk with 0 income.
I made this in PS before bed here at almost 100c. Going to shut it off until my fiancee has time to take me to a friends with correct equipment. I've dealt with hot PCs pushed to the max my whole life, but this is beyond "hot". This is baking thermal paste and metals.
