Cooling Laptops

Hi users,

I just want to know the best way to cool down my computer as it gets extremly hot all the time, I do blow the dust out of the fan, It is a brand new computer and I have a feeling the Motherboard and some other components are touching the base of the laptop inside as it is getting to hot, I mean you could probably fry a egg on there.

Hello braders95,
Are all the fans working ok ?, also you may want to download SpeedFan and take a look at what the temps really are. (link below).

Try it and post your temps. Good luck.

I use a chill mat (also called cool pad) like this one ( Targus - Laptop Chill Mat - Gray - PA248U1 ). Works really well.

Thanks the tempretures are:

HDD 39C
Temp1: 64C
Temp2: 69C
Core0: 58C
Core1: 56C

It could not gather information on DIMMS because I have a ASUS Motherboard.
I have done futher investigation into it and heres what i found:

Scanning SMBus at $1C20...
Decoding DIMM #0
Memory type is DDR2
Module Ranks : 2
Levels : 1.8V
Parity : NO PARITY
Refresh Rate : 7.8us
Total Size : 2048MB
Decoding DIMM #2
Memory type is DDR2
Module Ranks : 2
Levels : 1.8V
Parity : NO PARITY
Refresh Rate : 7.8us
Total Size : 1024MB

And I have took another look at the temps and this is what came up:
68
72
66
67




Thanks
Jamie

Load, and notice I have added some extra info.

If they are load temps then they are not to bad, on a laptop they can go as high as 80C if not higher under load.
As you know there is not a lot of room in a laptop so they tend to run hotter than a desktop, if you are concerned about the temps you could get a cooling mat, but i have to say, if it was me i would be happy with these temps.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

those temp seems pretty decent. mine gets up till 75C when its load. esp when running far cry 2. already add a cooler pad. still doesn't help much. only drop around 2-3C.
