    I figured that. I assume you are using a Wi Fi dongle. Maybe try another one.

    The only affordable wifi dongle in shops that are close to me are either this one or then a Buffalo one, which caused lots of BSoDs to my roommates (both of them have custom built desktops). Once I'm able to, I will buy one which goes directly to a PCi-E slot. But as of now, I don't have such a shop close to where I live.

    It was only a suggestion because the description of your incident sounded more like the Wi Fi to me.

    I just now found out that I don't have thermal paste, so turning my CPU fan is not possible :/
    I will try to mess around with the wires and the rear fan today though.

    OK, just let me know how it goes. Good Thermal Paste is pretty cheap.

    Any suggestions for a decent thermal paste?

    Huge thanks for that!
    I will look into it with my roommate, and figure out if he could order it with his credit card and I would pay in cash. I might even buy the fan at the same time too. I will send results once I get those done.

    Ok, so I just opened up the case, switched my GPU to x16 slot and flipped the rear fan to exchaust. I'm not sure if I'm able to hide the wires behind the case, due to the wires being stiff and tied up with cable ties (umm.. my bad... I guess?) But I will look into that more once I get the thermal paste.

    Also, my friend is planning to buy a new CPU cooler, so I guess I would be able to get a thermal paste at the same time with him. Also, about the 4th fan for my PC... I noticed that my motherboard has only slots for 3 fans and 2 cpu fans. (main and opt). So the door fan is not going to be a possibility.

    OK, you can try it like that, but most fans come with a wire that you can plug into the PSU with a Molex cable if you want to. The fan will just run at 100% all the time or use a fan splitter to use 2 fans from 1 header.
