Last Sept. I started and failed a build - I was really rushed with time and the machine basically was overheating and would shut itself down when it got too hot.
I now have the machine back with all the time in the world. What should I replace / upgrade?
The two fans I had in there I thought were cooling the system pretty well but I was wrong. I am looking to spend the least amount of money but make the machine totally reliable. TIA
Here are the specs:
