Wow - what timing for this thread. A family member just brought his HP over. Said itjust died one day with a popping sound. I checked it out and had to replace the power supply. While looking inside the thing, you couldn't even see through the heat sink fins under the fan due to solidified dust
My current machine at home is running *very* hot. I have to have a powerful
fan pointed almost directly at the CPU in order to keep it from overheating.
That's with a couple 80mm fans in the back! I think it's time to get a new
case that's built for temperature control. Any suggestions? I'm not

Have you blown the dust out of the case, and in particular the heat sink?
Can you check on your CPU fan, either in the BIOS or with a 3rd party app,
to see if it's turning at normal speed?

Antec 900 is my favorite case -- great airflow, quiet fans -- with all fans
on low, have never had an i7 system overheat in it.
Its little brother, the Antec 300, is pretty good, but does not come with
the front fans -- still has good airflow.
