High I have a new xps 400 and this heat wave really got me worried, i was wondering what could I do to improve my colling I found this side view photo online so if you have any ideas I am very thankful

should have no problems... Dell's are very well designed, and run nice and cool.....

I was thinking of just throwing in one of those pci slot fans just to feel safer, is that good idea

That would work, just make sure you can one that blows the air out of the case, not those that creates verticle airflow.

are you willing to void the warranty???

 

[Vwfix]

how would the pci car void the warrenty

 

[Mankz_91]

you open up the case.. on lots of PC companies, by opening the case you void the warranty

Sometimes when you open the case, it could void the warrenty. I would check with Dell to make sure it won't.

not the xps they come with the easy one button open case, plus I have opned the case as soon as the pc came in there was no warrenty seal.

Yea adding a PCI fan is a good idea. Dells tend to run pretty hot...
