I wouldn't try the A/C idea. Even though they remove moisture from the air they do not necessarily remove all the moisture. When you have a cool temp running over heated parts you face the possibility of condensation. Not good for a PC or any other electrical appliance.

Your CPU is running at 130 F, about 55 C well within limits of most CPU's.

You may want to see if the temperature monitor is accurate. Try and see what the temp of the graphics card is when operating. Then see what the inside of the case is. From what you said, I am not sure you have a CPU overheating problem.

Have you checked your bios to see if it has an emergency Temp shut off for the CPU? It may be set too low.
