Interesting...
I installed a program that tracks my CPU's temperature. If I'm just web-surfing, or checking e-mail, or other standard tasks, all four cores stay around 40 degrees.
If I run City of Heroes (an MMORPG), all four cores go up to around 60 degrees. Oddly enough, running LoTRO doesn't raise the CPU temp as high. Oh, it goes up, just not as much.
So, WTF? LoTRO should require more system resources, but it doesn't. Hrm. Still, I'm going to get my computer looked at this weekend.

A new better fan might be all you need.
