4 months apparently can be too long if you regularly smoke a bowl near it.
I've been suffering with heating issues and unexpected shut downs for longer than I would like to admit.
I've always been interested in liquid cooled computers, but that's quite outside my limited range of expertise when it comes to hardware.

I've had those same problems with some past systems. That's why I went over-kill on this system. I have far more cooling than I need. If I aimed all the fans down, it would fly away.
Now if I neglect it, it can cope with losing a fan or six, and still stay in operable temperature.

This is one of the reasons I went with water cooling.
The smoke and fur content of the air in here exceeds 'safe' levels. Water cooling doesn't solve the problem, but it makes it easier to manage and less prone to exploding.
