Ok, so when I bought the Cosmos 1000 case I had the 8800GT with aftermarket fan. Well now for about 4 months now I have had the 4870 X2. And well it gets really hot and overheats and crashes during gameplay making me restart my PC. So my question is, if I cut out the acoustic foam will that drop temps? I keep getting the feeling that the reason why is the heat gets trapped into the foam.

I would put some fans on the side panel. or add more or get better fan

Thanks man, that guy in the video is really helpful. I am prolly gonna just get all of the foam out of there and put a window and a 120mm fan on the window.
