Airflow should be fine. There are no disks in this case and
there are 3 fans cooling the computer. I can comfortably
touch all parts (heatsink, ram, cache).
Next time I have the problem, I'll try to clock it down
(never thought of this :)

I replaced the 230W PS with a 300W already -> no effect.

Any other Ideas?
