Should I try to resolder the heat sensor attachment back on, or just run
it always at high speed? If I put it back on, I'll have to tape it down in
the airflow path -- it was just lying loose before. I guess I'll just run
it always at high RPM, but I think I'll check the voltages from the power
supply first... 

Also, which way does the case fan go? ;-) I took it apart for cleaning,
and thought I put it back together, but it seems to be intaking at the
front/case fan, and then just exiting out the back through the holes in
the case--is that right?

BTW, thanks a lot for the quick response.
