    What is the best way to keep your computer from over heating?

    Is this a good fan:

    ? Or do like I did and mount it under the seat where the AC blows directly on it. The End.

    I've got the same fan going into the case I'm building.
    It's a good one,but you either need to put the thermal sensor on something hot like a hard drive,or short the sensor out to get the fan to spin fast enough to move some air.

    Phase-change cooling would probably be the best way.
