I'm sure it would still do the job, I doubt an overheated CPU would be the first problem on that system

I beg to differ.
I've seen many characters employed in an IT role that they have no business being in. This would be a classic example of what happens!

They can unfortunately. I remember a machine brought to me a couple of years ago that was like that. The guy had a whole tube of the stuff, and thought it all had to be used!
