The 4100's were very prone to overheating when one of the fans would quit, especially on the little Intel processor. I've modified all of mine by moving the fan header over to an empty one on the right side of the systemboard (looking from front). Seemed like the temp-detect circuit wouldn't always kick the fan on, so moving it to the other header that has voltage to it all the time kept things cooler.

Just something to consider if you replace the system board.
