Dito duderino =- I bought an extra ball bearing case fan just for the punishing Q3 play and that made an instant difference of about 7 -15 degs. The last time I found the cpu running hot (60 degs), i opened her up (yes its a she isnt it?), cleaned out the cpu and case fans (not forgetting the heatsink!) - brushed and blew off (pc blower) the dust from the motherboard - and the general temp lowered 10 - 15 degs straight away. Dust is like thermal clothing on a California beach in the summer time. =- Good luck - -- M
