    Do you just have fans in there and let her rip? DO you have a notebook cooler? A fan right next to it? tell me!

    This is how I use to cool my computer:

    I took off a side and put a box fan on top and it cooled it down dramatically especially on high setting :)

    I have a laptop cooler. It blows air upwards. It helped quite a bit but my laptop still gets warm.

    Before I had this cooler, I used to take my hard drive and put it in the fridge. I was seriously that pissed at how hot it was getting. :D

    I keep a bag of ice on top of it.

    Joking :D

    I keep my side case open and leave a fan blowing there.

    I use Liquid Cooling Refrigerant. The setup costs about 400$US. But I'm running 2 processors and 4 gig of ram, 2 video cards and 4 monitors, so 400$ for guaranteed cooling is ok by me.

    I definitely have to get something to cool it. If i do any advanced task either the CPU or the graphics card block and my monitor turns off for a moment.

    Its actually bad too keep a huge fan ontop..The reason the computer gets cooled, is due to circulation..Thats why each fan is positioned go suck in or out..The front fans bring in cold air, the back and top take the heat out..Having a fan just blow on it circulates warm air, so basically it does nothing..I'm using 4 80mm fans, and a zalman heatsink.
