> [@JCuz](#): > > ^ i just have mine out in the open so heat does not have anywhere to build up unfortunately that is only 1/2 of the issues, the heat builds up inside the box and the stock cooling fans are way to slow to keep up with it. I had the 12v mod done to mine, the fans spin at full speed, plus the removed the x-clamps and put real paste on the gpu, cpu and memory chips, they also sealed everything inside so the airflow has nowhere to go but out. ---
