    Very getto lol! I do something similar for mine when I'm gaming. Keeps temps down, but with the back raised and the front down, I find it better to use the keyboard as well on that angle.

    is there any software that will tell you if you actually need a mem overclock?

    Now we're talking! where did you get the little stands or legs that are propping it up? I currently use DVD cases and have been looking for legs that were tall enough. Also was thinking of placing an ice Pac below it as well but my temps never go above 80-81c so so far not needed.
