[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 921045, member: 42497"] First up MDD are magnificent dust catchers and reduced air flow makes them run hot. Open her up and give a real good clean out, paying particular attention to the front air inlet which is behind the front lower leg. These can become nearly blocked up. Also clean fan blades with a small paint brush or similar. If still records that high temperature after cleaning, consider whacking in a PCI fan unit which are quite cheap, and you can also mount a fan unit on the hard drive and connecting it up to a spare molex plug. There are many sellers who list these items on eBay. [/QUOTE]
