( think about being stuck in a box out in the sun all day , no air flow = no cooling = overheat = Die !)


my video card used to over heat alot along with my cpu ,
my solution ,
when to radio shack got a 110v fan wired it into power supply so when pc is on fan comes on ( wired to that extra female connector used for monitor, power not all power supplies have it ) and mounted it on the case directly across from cpu & slots and stuck some furnace filter material in a empty spot on the case where it looked like a fan was supposed to go but none was installed , and it allowed air to come in from the outside .

worked like a charm cpu stays around 115 however since it is a big ol 4 inch 110v fan it is noisier than what i would like
