Troubleshooting Overheating Issues & Maintaining A Cool System

I have put together a basic (but complete) guide to Troubleshooting Overheating Issues & Maintaining A Cool System. There are a lot of people on these forums that have questions of this nature and I'm hoping that this guide may serve as a starting point for those people, but also as a reference to those who otherwise wish to maximise the cooling potential of their system. Whilst it is a basic guide, and much of it many of you may already know I am hoping that there will be something in here for everyone that will make it worth reading. I've learnt a lot from being a member of these forums and so this is me giving a bit back. You'll have to forgive me for the PDF Format; I'm having trouble editing my own posts on these forums and I wanted a medium that I could keep easily keep updated. I originally coded this guide in HTML but trying to find a free web-host that had no ads and generous image-size limits seemed to be a bit much to ask. I guess with PDF you can also save a copy to your computer for offline usage if you wish to do so. However, if anyone can recommend a hosting solution I would be very grateful. The guide can be downloaded from the link below:

Comments and criticisms are appreciated   I have copied the introduction from the guide below to give you a bit more insight.

This guide is designed to serve as a go-to point for anybody experiencing problems with their systems that appear to be a result of overheating. It will attempt to inform you of the dangers of overheating and its potential effects on your system as well as touching upon the main reasons overheating occurs and what you can do to reduce these effects. It will not delve into the subject of overclocking since this is an entirely different subject for which thorough and precise guides have already been written. However, it will assist you in lowering your temperatures if you are overclocking and have hit the thermal limit of your CPU or other components.

Since the majority of people with overheating problems experience them on their CPU, this guide will focus primarily upon this point. However, people with overheating issues of any kind should find that this guide will give them a good insight into how to rectify their problems. Furthermore, I’m a firm believer that proper airflow and ventilation throughout your case is the most effective method of ensuring that all of your system components remain cool.

This guide is, and will continue to be a work in progress. Any new information that I believe is valid and relevant shall be included as and when it becomes available. I strongly value the opinions of other forum members and would like to ask that anyone who feels something has been overlooked or is incorrect in any way to post here or PM me and I will update it to this guide.
