Yo man just have a try putting a book and putting a cooler pad under the laptop really different.I was used to put a book under my lappy.After that, i prefer cooler pad because it really makes different!!   Especially the position of the fan is towards to the right place   !

Isn't?? I'm also a dell user inspiron 6000 with x300 128mb gc, i'm using my own made cooler to cool it down it really work for me, and i'm using fangui to detect those temp.With cooler playing Most Wanted can cool down around 5 celsiusGC.CPU also can decrease around 5 celsius, that's y i dare to say it really can work.

tycheah_7 u r right keep lappy ventilated is very important!! Put it on the bed is the worst, because i've tried it b4,fall a sleep while surfing internet on my bed not only lappy very hot,also suck in hair      ..
Another example, i got a friend using acer's laptop.I don't know which model, the spec is T2400,X1600,14'' LCD.........  with a free gift cheap cooler the temp like hell.While playing NFS Underground 2 .CPU can up to 90celsius then laptop turn off.Therefore i suggest him to DIY a cooler for his lap top then it works.No more automatic off while playing underground 2 and the temp is reduced to around 80~.     This is my experience.  

Question!!! Is 70-80celsius is normal for a 14'' laptop's cpu's temp,(with GC) while playing most wanted or underground??
