Hey guys.

Ok so my rig is kind of hot right now, I basically really feel the need to stick another fan into the box. The problem is I am not sure my PSU can handle it.

So I was wondering if there is any way I can see just how much juice I may still have left in my PSU, so as to determine if it can sustain another cooler?

Hi there - have you tried canned air to get rid of the dust - too much dust in your computer can cause it to over heat or may a computer dust filter - I know of one which is just peel off and stick onto the side of your computer - look at the video on http://www.dustx.net
Hope this helps
Regards
Yosi

A fan uses so little power, I doubt your PSU won't handle it. In the worsed case, just get one of those huge fans from the local store, open up the side of the case and put that fan to blow in there.
