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.

I'm thinking I'll attach a large home air filter on one side of the case and a dormroom box fan on the other side for clean airflow over the entire unit.
I call it the ghetto heat dispersion system.
