I am the reason why my laptop fan died.

I did not realise that 92C is normal for my laptop's intel chipset. :sob:

I feel so stupid now... I'm getting it replaced for 60 quid, hoping contactless on my phone will work, otherwise I'm screwed. :D

Turns out if you have an I5, they will overclock themselves. I shall now trust the "auto" option on my laptop.
