My computer crashed today and I have finally
apt-get install sensors-applet
I found out that my temperature is exceeding 80 on both CPUs under load
and is always sitting at 76 for the GPU
I have pulled off and cleaned the fan for the CPU but I have not done
anything about the grease. Will this make a lot of difference?
Thanks

76 for the GPU isn't uncommon, they run pretty hot as a rule.
what is the case temperature, if you can post photos of inside your box
along with specs on the components people can probably advise better.
you only need the grease if you have taken the heatsink off.
check that the heatsink is properly seated, with intel CPU fans
sometimes the heatsink can click and feel like its in place but infact
its not doing much. They are very much not a zero force item, if your
not freaking about breaking something when you push the pins in your
probably not pushing hard enough. (although I am a big wuss when it
comes to leaning on a screwdriver over a $200 motherboard ;->)
