My NB is running super hot (70-80 C) so I would like to put a fan on it, any ideas? I have zero idea what I need here

get a 60mm fan and use foam double sided tape to mount it. you want to have the airflow going downwards. but 70-80*C is way too hot and id guess its a seating issue and id look at redoing the thermal paste on the boards chipset as well as the fan.

on a side note, why do you have a mAtx board in a corsair 800d?

Those nb's do run hot. That is pretty normal, mine lasted a week before I sold it just for that reason. I think the only blocks made for it are mips.

They run hot, it's normal.

My R2G is scorching.

1) I have a 800d because it looks awesome, and i'm upgrading MB/CPU when Sandy Bridge comes out in the new year.

2) In my HAF 932 the NB ran a ton cooler because there was a fan pointed on it. So I don't think there is a problem - just need to put a little fan on it. My board is getting sent out for RMA though, so we'll see if the new one runs cooler, but I doubt it will.

I'll take a look at the tape idea, thanks!
