Emines sure knows how to cool a pc

I solved the CPU heat management issues I had one summer in two ways. First, I took of the side panel, and when the CPU was doing video encoding, I would use a paddle to manually cool it for the hour or so it took to finish the task. Then I got a room fan, put it on the desk, pointed it at the case and never had heating problems again. No money was spent, no components were touched. That's real oldschool CPU heat management.
