Hot or not?

After getting pisannoyed with my computer because it crashed last night while doing my C++ coursework, losing all my hard entered comments. I soon found the cause of this was my CPU core temperature going above 75°C, whoops!

So, now I've finished my coursework and I'm bored I thought I'd add some ducting to the inside of the case to increase the efficiency of the cooling.

Before
Before....
After
After....heh :)
Works though.... case temp has dropped from about 40°C to 28°C at 100% CPU usage, and the CPU core from around 70°C to 45°C. Might have to use the heating in my room more now...
