Computer/electronic equipment works perfectly fine at pretty high temperatures for VERY long periods of time.

If you think 90C is normal operating temps I hope you haven't been in IT long.
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

I try to keep my CPU from reaching 60.

Current temps show a stable 45, with the glass off. I think the hot air comes from my monitor. If anything, I need to exhaust air from the top to avoid it getting under, to the pc area.

I have a grill cover in the mail, and will put a low speed fan on it to help with exhaust. Should work well in my case.

Though it is better to blow in cool air then to exhaust warm air,
you would think it is the same but in the overclocking community i always heard that it is better to pressurize then to suck air out,
for better reach of the cool air everywhere, i think.

Also if you suck air out you will hear the fan more then if you blow in.
