Since I have not yet ordered my new fan (weather, school and work, etc having kept me preoccupied), thats exactly what I have done - the cover is off and I pull the machine out of its cubby (one reason it builds up heat is the enclosed space it is supposed to sit in) and let it get full access to ambient air. However, even with it pulled out, if the cover is on, it overheats. Thats why the cover stays off. Running Dirt2 with the cover off and in ambient air (usually 73-75F) the chip will max at about 60C. At idle she sits around 36C.
