I found that my notebook's temperature can easily goes up to > 60 celcius since recently, which I personally don't think is a healthy figure for laptop. I was thinking to get a cooling pad to cool it down, but I find no air vent at the bottom of my notebook for CPU and hardisk areas (the hottest components I guess). I wonder will cooling pad really help even the holes are not there in first place. What are the other alternatives if cooling pad is not the efficient solution for me?

Hope to get some opinions from you guys and gals. 8-)

Poor people leh.... still looking for job now, no $$ for this option, haha....

Anyway, anyone doing or did cooling before for laptop without air vent at the bottom of CPU and hardisk areas? How's the effect? I believe my laptop (Asus A3N) is not the only model having such design...

By the way, my laptop is using Pentium-M 1.5 GHz (not sure whether is second or third generation of Centrino). Is ~60 Celcius a normal temperature for this CPU (yeah I know laptop design will take effect as well)?

Thanks.

I see. The temp usually is around 55 Celcius when idle; but easily goes up to 60 Celcius when running some basic applications such as MS Word and Firefox.

Anyway, I find that the airflow at the back vent becomes much weaker then before even when the fan is spinning at full speed.

The model is Asus A3N.

Actually I already took the fan out and cleaned it. But for the heat sink, I have no idea on how to do cleaning... ;-P

Hi Sotong168, may I know where can I get a 'vacuum' from and how much for each?
