First of all, there's NO way in hell that a crack can significantly increase your cpu temperature. The only thing that it CAN do, is keep the cpu 100% utilized (full load) and thus reach maximum temperature instead of idle temperature. However, almost 95%+ of all games will use all available cpu capacity, so almost any game will reach this full load temperature. If this really makes your cpu run too hot, it means you don't have enough cooling capacity to really use your cpu with the current temperatures. Either upgrade your cooling, or clock your cpu lower. As for the original not having this problem, it is possible but VERY unlikely. In any case, don't hold your breath for a crack that uses less cpu cycles, the problem is with your cooling, not with the crack.
