        Well the easiest way is to install another fan. I have 4 fans in my system,
one in the power supply, one mounted on the CPU and two in the case, one at
the front of the case and one in the middle. An alternative is to install
and better heat sink/fan combo on the CPU, but my wind tunnel cools the
whole system, not just the CPU. TTYL
