1172924 2011-01-27 04:48:00 My laptop was overheating last year, sitting it on a kitchen utensil rack solved the problem, raised it c. 5cms. so air circulation underneath greatly improved. martynz (5445)

1172928 2011-01-27 05:48:00 My netbook (Asus Eee 701) can get up to 60° or higher when overclocked to 990MHz - which, judging by other temperatures, isn't all that bad. :p pcuser42 (130)

Which BIOS version are you running on yours?

Stupid HP designers though air could pass through solid objects. DO NOT use them on beds or soft surfaces!! (or any surface :p)

Yea mines the same. I've had it hit 95+ while gaming WITH a cooling pad, eventually I ended up sitting it halfway off the fan so the vents on the laptop were about 5cm off the ground with nothing covering them and the actual "fan" in the cooling pad was sitting off to the right of my laptop, cooling down the other side.

Seemed to work.
