There's a CPU fan and one case fan (I don't think the power supply has a fan, but not 100% sure). I've been running it with the cover off so I can IR-thermometer-zap the RAM and CPU heat sink, but it's really hard to get good readings. One problem is that the thermo sensor reporting seems to be a weird scale -- it's not absolute temperature; it's a value that's proportional to "how far from shutdown temperature," and it's only close to "degrees" when you're right at the critical temperature. When idle, the system reports 2-10 deg. C. Anyway, I went into the BIOS and set the fans to manual control, 100% all the time. System ran fine (but noisy) for a while last night, but sometimes that happened before, too -- I don't have a reliable test that will always cause it to shut down. Hopefully I'll find that the 100% fan is enough to keep it running, then it'll probably just be a matter of getting the system to understand its own temperature reporting and turn the fans up when necessary.
