This reminds me of an incident a long time ago when we had issues with Compaq 386’s overheating. I came back from holiday to be told that they had solved it by adding a bigger fan. When I finally saw the offending machines they had their covers off and 15’ office fans pointing down onto the motherboard. Did the job though.

I had an xbox 360 that would always overheat and red ring itself. Eventually I realized the window fan I owned had almost the same curve angle as the 360 case. I built a little stand out of some books to hold it flat upright with the air blowing straight up, with the xbox laid horizontally on top of it. Air was just dumping through the vents in the case and that xbox never red ringed again. Wasn't designed for it but it worked better than the manufactured solution evidently.

Just buy a PC desktop or play on console... jesus...

On the one hand I applaud such bricolage, but yeah I'm good with my PS5

Why? MPB works fine for the game. Why waste money?

Pics of the setup? Thanks!
