It seems that lack of reply here is due to off topic at first sight. But it's actually relevant as far as PC audio goes. Not just for typical "less audible fan noise," but cooler CPU means less processing "stress" and therefore better performance and better signal quality.
And I believe something can be added to this topic: Boron Nitride
Preferably to be used on heat sinks which are "naked metal," which can improve heat dissipation via increase surface area.
Some already used spraying/coating on whole system, but you need to get right type of BN spray, the ones that "coats," not "powdered" ones that used for forgery:

(Whilst written in Chinese, but pictures would obviously do)
Later part of that thread claimed working well for years. I did similar thing on other stuff but applied much thinner since there's no proper information on "optimized thickness," and overcoating may result in obstacle for dissipation.
And of course be careful not to spray on any electric contact, as Boron Nitride is highly effective insulator, nor CPU/fan contacting surface!
Some of BN's other great properties include static proof, dust proof and moisture proof, which foundamentally solves some biggest electrical headache. I used it on some boards in my TV and works well so far. But audio-wise I'm not certain how its dielectric property will effect audio component it sprayed on.
