My case not it have only a 12cm fan with 2500RPM flow the heat out of the back of the case, i've try open the case it seem to be lower temp but not much i think 5 degree, i can't clean GPU Coz Asus Stick the Warranty Sticker on it i can remove the GPU, I'm thinking i will bring the VGA to the Asus and tell them check it for me cuz the temp is way too hight what do you think abou that plan ?
