Reached a determination the other day, I HAVE to get stuff sold right now (until that tax return commeth), but nothing gets sold unless I'm getting crap done, and this vent fan/overheating situation rather limits that. So given that the warranty on this thing is already gone I think, I decided to do this rather elaborate setup to prevent the computer from overheating while I draw stuff. Basically did some 'surgery' on the broken fan so it can do just enough to keep going and have the whole thing practically sitting on top of a desk fan. It's uncomfortable to work with but it seems so far to be doing the job. Testing it out today with a personal pic I won't panic if I lose work on in the event of an overclock and shut down, if it works I'll be getting back to commissions tomorrow, though it'll be at a slow rate.
