[BNM] Anyone familiar with SpeedFan?

[andrew holway]

I cut a gurt great big hole in the top of my little shuttle system and
bolted an 120mm orange fan over it.

That fixed it.

+1 for regular dustings, laptops are VERY prone to this, the little
heat exchanger on most of them gets clogged very easily. also dust the
back of your fridge/freezer every 6 months or so :)
