AMD K6-2/3 CPUs are suspectible to heat build up inside a case. The best option is to get a new case with a fan in the bottom front (sucking air in) and a fan in the top back (sucking air out). Getting a large case will allow better air circulation between the different components. On really hot days, do your computer a favor and leave it off until the room temperature cools down.
