Thanks to the freshly made hole in my side panel + a 32.5 cfm fan there, my CPU, previously which ran at 140F, now runs at a nice 122F / 50C
also, note for making a hole on the side... work from the inside, ESPECIALLY if your case is painted / otherwise coloured. I did mine from the outside and i have some silver spirals to show for it =/
woo! prolonged use, cpu is down to 118
