thats the only thing u can do....w/ no working fan, there is no way to cool your system unless you open your case and have a fan blowing at it....a fan is nto hard to installed....just screw it into the case

last time i tried that i acidently screwed it to my hard drive.

bad move

mind you that was ages ago ansd i no what a mobo is now

Abu, if removing your sidepanel lowers your temps then it is a sure sign that your case airflow sucks.

one, two, three...

"Well...tell me how to fix it! What do you guys think?"

BEEP! Wrong question!

There is a ton of info on this forum regarding case cooling.
*Ahem*May I refer you to the huge and exhaustive threads that I've posted the past few months...there are several concepts that could easily be adapted to any case.

You are against the wall now, mofo.
Only you can assess/diagnose/repair this problem.

IMO, 45c is at least 15 deg. too high.

Fix it.

I agree with clocker.

abu. You have been around the HardwareWorld long enough to know about cooling. Why don't you find the solution and tell us what you do.

I say this because a while back you were bragging about your temps as if it was a competition.

Whether you board is good or bad is irrelevant.
This isn&#39;t a motherboard problem.
It is a case cooling problem.

Have you started working yet?
