if your warranty is over.. u might wanna open it up and check the dust inside..

here's wat i found when i opened up my gf's laptop, it was overheating + shutting down itself @ 70c














After this cleaning "exercise", it ran 22c cooler

no more overheating after that

Dude, that's normal.
I've opened tons of notebook @ laptop casing before, and always found that thick dust build up.

Tons of notebook shutdown by itself because of overheating.

Remember to only do this on those notebooks @ laptop that has finished its official warranty.

What lappy is that? So conversative shutdown temp

I think the most important thing is not to block the cool air intake holes and the heatsink exhaust system. If possible try to lid up a bit the notebook to let the bottom part of the notebook to take more cool air cooling down.

Needed some suggestion here.

I am about to get a notebook cooler for my gf's notebook but i am not so sure about which to get.Saw plenty of them in the market, ranging from CM, Zalman, LL, and many more but which one is better.Budget would be RM150 - RM200 but of course, the lower the better....

Any recommendation on which to get?

zalman notebook cooler..planning to get that..anyone here using it? any comments?

there is this PCMCIA cooler.. sold on lelong.com. dono who ever tried it b4.. its the cooler that you insert in the PCMCIA Bus Smart Card slot which suck the air out.. i think shud be effective.. cuz for my Toshiba lappie, the heat is on the surface at the place where my left wrist is when i'm typing..and that spot below is the PCMCIA slot.. hope some one can test.. here is the link..

anyone bot the evercool magi one...????i wanna try tad..please...

bring ur lappie to a tire shop or workshop n use compressed air to gimme the fan a good blow... control the pressure though... u dun wan to ruin ur fan... a few seconds of blowing n follow by video head cleaner spray for a few quick burps... it should help to clean up lots of stuck debris in ur lappie...

* try at ur own risk... i did that to all my lappie n they survive though...

well for my old acey laptop which has passed its waranty, i have opened it, dismantled the heatsink and washed it and dried it and then lap it with some awesome emery paper, and hmm used mx1, works wonders, its a p4 and its idle at the moment is 41 degrees..

About external coolers, why not get the zalman cooler, i have not tried it though coz i can reduce the temps via method above...

i found that acer brand laptop is sux....
my old acer laptop oso face heat problem....

anyone noe that y ram part bcum hotter? even i had cleaned the internal part of my laptop




my cheapo way to cool down laptop is : put a puncher under the laptop so that more air intake

did anyone try the evercool

I think its wrong to generalise that acer laptops suck... its not the comp thats the main issue of malfunction but rather its the user himself/herself. I have an ACER travelmate 250 for 4 years now and it works perfectly fine only that its a single core

That cheapo way does help a bit....

Agree that ACER notebook sux.. i own Acer 5560 given as a present on my birthday. The heat on this notebook is rediculous..it will hit 80-85C when im doing my video rendering and round 55-65 on normal useage. Build quality also soo plastiky. Also the fan intake n out take on right hand side..wtf? Bad enuff the laptop is warm now everytime i use external mouse my right hand get toast too!.. This is a great laptop for someone in siberia indeed.

Btw have anyone open up an Acer laptopn and apply some AS-5 to the Heat Sink pipe?

Would be happy to get a decent 2-3C on my laptop..

My GPU heat is 75C even in idle and normal use...my lappy is compaq V3415AU...Using AMD and Nvidia chipset...anyone got idea with this? a fix? a patch to set it's frequency lower when idle, coz i found it running on maximum frequency even when idle...

I agree with u..
normally the cooler pad doesn't help much.. unless got tools directly suck all the heat out from the lappy..
it will be more effective..

this is old thread...

anyway try refer this web
