When I took out the 9200 it actually seemed a bit more hot than usual. It's unfortunate. At the moment my kids are playing their learning games, so I'll try cleaning it later and try again. I do have a PCI slot cooler I could install but I'm not so sure about the type of cooler it is and how it could adversely effect my Mac. It's a Fox-2 60 CFM PCI slot cooler. And here's what worries me about it, it's a High Static Pressure fan. Does anyone know if this type of PCI slot fan is bad for my Mac?
