My case seems too hot for the components because when I add two more 
memory chips into the system, it hangs after ten to fifteen minutes. So 
instead having the second case fan to get the air out, I let it blow air 
directly into the memory slots while the first one gets the air out. 
This "redesign" helps a lot. Now I have maximum memory capacity at 
maximum speed and it works fine.
