    First, make sure that its own fan (assuming it has one) is working and the light source is the correct wattage for that model. Also ensure lots of clear space around the unit- I've seen people absent-mindedly pile books and papers up right next to the machine, choking off the air flow. Also, there should be a decent space under the projector for the air to circulate (maybe its legs aren't long enough?). If all else fails, yes, a fan will help. With the fan lower than the projector, aim it to blow upwards across the unit and this should make the difference.
