Belive me I'm waiting for A. I live in Scotland so it's not exactly boiling (although Summer's back with a vengeance... hot day today, in September). As soon as it gets colder however: heating off, windows open, housecoat/slippers on, play game. Soo cold... but soo worth it.

As for B, I've stuck 2 case fans in. One to suck air in and another to suck it out. The one that brings air into the case is on the same level as the N/B heatsink but is too far away to make any difference. I'm thinking at this point I'll have to get the smallest fan I can get and just glue it to the heatsink or something

The worst part of my problem is that I just bought some DLC for ME2 as well. I was in the middle of the Overlord DLC when the crashes became so frequent as to make me stop. As much as I want to play ME2 I'm not risking damage to my system.
