  3. other than that, I am not high risk, I don't engage in any sports that require a helmet

    Too bad, because at one time when I was young I really enjoyed racing bicycles

    they say that is what messed my prostate up

    back then, all you had to wear was a hat

    roll of dimes

    that's how they described a good racing bike

    (it had to do with your gears)

  4. I have some cooler-master (not the one larry shows) and it keeps my retina MBP ~20-degrees cooler under heavy loads. It looks like it has two 80mm fans, and I can center them under the GPU.

    55-degrees C.

  5. Every computer I have owned in my life has had issues with heat. If you have a desktop, the cooling solution is easy. You can just take off the side panel and place a huge window fan blowing directly into it. You can buy all sorts of gadgets.

    The laptop a little trickier. When Im at home, I take out the battery while using the laptop and always elevate the rear. I have a cheap cooling fan underneath providing ventilation.

    I dont enjoy the sounds of any of these machines therefore I try to place them as far as I can. There are ways to put the desktop in one room and you access it while in the next. So, in that case, you can just open it up and stick a large fan right there airing it out. My brother in law has it in his basement which always seems to be very cool no matter what time of year.
