Keeping your PC running cool is crucial to it's performance and longevity. It is hard to say if adding fans will solve your problem without knowing more specifics about your computer equipment and even details such as the temperature of the room.

Yes.
One thing to check and clean. Also make sure your fan is working.
Look for the intake for the air flow. I found mine[HP] on the front.[my fan is on the back top] I tipped back the PC and looked up under the front cover. That is where the dust collects. vacuum in out and if you can not reach it use use an artist paint brush or something that will fit. Hold the vacuum close by so the dust and dirt will go into it. turn off the computer while you do this so it wont pull the dust through itself.
Did you find a thick coating of lint and dust? I did.

Your computer NEEDS to be cooled, either by fans or by other means. If your computer doesn't have fans or another system in place, you should not use it until you have installed one.
Here is a dramatic example of what can happen to a computer with no heat dissipation system: http://www.planetboredom.net/video.php?id=1016
Over heating computer componants WILL damage them, even to the point of absolute failure. So, unless you want an expensive paperweight, GET SOME FANS IN THAT SUCKER NOW!

Well high temperature will destroy a lot of hardware.Besides it also make performance decrease as the heat produce more than heat released.So if you to save your costs.You can open the CPU protect and cool it big the normal fan.It will released the heat more faster.

Heat is very bad for a PC. Install an extra fan and make sure the computer is clean. Blow it out with compressed air.

If it passes best for a at the same time as you will possibly desire to be effective. Sounds accepted for inventory settings. undergo in ideas the idle calculation for those CPUs are way off, yet might desire to be precise at load.
