Hi,
My cpu's temperature is at 50 degrees celsuis idle. The only cooling I have is a fan on the CPU and Video card. I want to install fans but I don't want to drill holes in my case. Any ideas.

Every case I have seen has 1 or 2 fan grills with predrilled screw holes on the rear just under the power supply exhaust. You can use these.
