I happen to appreciate your taste in handguns. :)

You're definitely right to be concerned about the heat build-up in an enclosed space like that. Until you get that option resolved, you can throttle your CPU usage down by going to the advanced tab of the FaH configuration. Whoops, I just remembered that you're using the console version now, so I assume that setting would be in a config file somewhere...

I recieved another bad WU. It was taking a lot longer per frame than usual, about 12m compared to the usual 8m. I noticed it late and restarted the client and recieved the error message below. A 400 frame Tinker (p1152_L939_K12M_ext_from638) on frame 172. That always kills my points per day. For a day of work I got a partial point value of 6.

I took command and got my heat issue under control today. I went to Radio Shack and bought a $25 120mm, 120Vac brushless cooling fan that I mounted at a 116mm port I cut in the upper rear of my computer desk. Now, the hot air discharged from the computer case gets exhausted OUTSIDE the desk enclosure instead of being continually recirculated. Fresh, cool air is drawn in through the 1" gap at the floor and keeps the CPU within an acceptable operating tempereature range. No more CPU shutdowns due to thermal overload.
