GCP cooling

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?

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?

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.

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