CDROM cooler recommendations?

[sonicworld]

Recently built my first CPU and I've noticed the CD's are very warm when removed from the DVD-ROM (it's an internal 2nd generation Toshiba DVD). The unit seems to slow a bit when warmer. I understand there are CD-ROM coolers available...does anybody use them? If so, any recommendations would be appreciated.

i think nearly all cd-roms may heat up the cd a bit after some serious use, all 3 of mine do that...

cd-rom coolers, even if they exist, would probably be too big or ineffective, as the components are encased in a metal covering

I've never heard of a CD-ROM cooler, and doubt that one exists. CDs get warm, that's what happens when they spin. It's nothing to worry about.
