My computer is being annoying (running at high temperatures cos i put one more HDD in there Surprised)
any tricks for lowering temp (getting a fan in two weeks, yes my income really is that bad) in the meantime?
i already told my video card to lower it's refresh rate by 15 Hz. anything else?
(my BIOS is "family safe" so no CPU speed adjusting, sorry)

Open up the computer and put it near an open window. It's cold enough fi your live ta the northern part of the world. Maybe put a ventilator on it. be creative!
