Ok I have my gamecube protoporto in the case and it has a fan on the bottom blowing in but after playing the mobo is still hot so if I put another on the top blowing air out will this help?

Re: GCP cooling
I never took the original heatsink of the mobo off and I put the fan to where it is blowing down the fins of it. Also the regulator (which I relocated) also gets warmer and wamer so would putting a heatsink on the back and in front of the fan in the case help?

Re: GCP cooling
You want air holes to allow cool air being pulled in and then the fan blows the hot air out.
That is the most effective way to cool a portables.
If it doesn't work for you, then you go with two fans with one blowing over the heatsinks and one blowing the hot air out of the case.

Re: GCP cooling
Ok thank you I will do that, but I also forgot to note that I didn't have the back cover on either.
