I could probably put a couple fans on top or on the side of the case to vent heat out. The case is pretty well ventilated even with only one exhaust fan. It has plenty of exhaust vents, and I feel a good airflow of warm air coming out the top/sides of it from the CPU fans.
I put a pea sized amount on and smoothed it to an extremely thin layer using a credit card to collect excess while keeping it evenly distributed.
Maybe overkill based on Stephen's post, but that's how I was taught. :grin1:
Yes, it goes from 25 C to 50 C quickly and almost as quickly back down to 25 C.
Yep, that's why I'm considering getting a top down cooling solution. My motherboard temperatures don't seem too high (most temperatures are in the 30s; there is one around 70-75 C when the processor is in use, which is probably a sensor near the processor).
