Laptops aren't meant for gaming though, and you need to fork over heavy cash to make them able to play big games at high graphics. Whatever you do, never blow a house fan or something like that at your system to "cool" it off. That messes up the entire vent system and can overheat your cpu super quick. Almost did that with the old desktop :O Also, because its summer, everything gets super hot in my bedroom so most of the time I play games downstairs. My keyboard doesn't even feel hot in the basement, so if you can help it, move to a cooler room temperature because it does help. | ||

I have done some considerable amount of research into laptop before. I can recommend these two: http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Notepal-Notebook-R9-NBC-8PBK-GP/dp/B002NU5V4A/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1280780103&sr=1-1 http://www.amazon.com/ZALMAN-Ultra-Notebook-Cooler-ZM-NC1000/dp/B000JSFT0Y/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1243624006&sr=1-11 It may also be a hardware problem. Laptops, especially laptop graphic cards (like the infamous Nvidia 8xxx series), suffer short life expectancy. | ||

You use a tiny fan so maybe it's not a big deal though? On that note, maybe it's not really doing anything  Feel under your laptop and see if those fans are drawing air or blowing air. If both fans are drawing air, point the fan to blow cool air under the laptop, so that way the cpu draws cooler air, that's safe. | ||
