lol no , only a fan cut into the side, its just an emachines case with new guts put in it. I got it for free because someone at work blew it up . I liked the led power button so I kept it and put a new mobo in it , bigger psu, etc etc. I cut the hole in the side of the case with a roto-zip, they make a dremel feel like a tonka toy! :yes:

I'm calling bs on that one. I have two desktops both with the same hard drive arrangement.

One has been running everyday for almost 3 years, the other a year, and not a single problem.

Computer heat isn't as much of an issue as some people make it out to be.

I knwo from seeing a friend do it, bulking hard drives together liek that can kill them, i guess if the room you are in has a cool ambient temperature and you have good airflow in your case it isnt so bad, but i know it can kill them or corrupt data, i always leave a small gap between mine, and i have a file server stacked with drives

heat is a real problem... if you're in a place with a good airflow and that your computer have a good one, that's maybe why you don't see the problem. But once your hd will fail, think about the fact that having it cooler then you do would have gave him at least 25 to 50% more life time

      Well I've done a grand total of nothing, and it now clocks between 2010mhz and 1995mhz (stock is 1710mhz) and hovers around 80c, warmer than it used to, but tolerable clocks seem to have returned. Thanks for all the advice on this thread. Will review the evidence and make a choice.

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
