| 841427 | 2010-01-18 02:12:00 | If hot air is coming OUT, then the fans are doing their job properly. If you want to know if it's overheating or not, check the temperature of the CPU with software. Remember one of the earlier Radeon HD series? They put Warning labels on the exhaust vents, because at full load the temperature was almost 100 degrees... |

| 841428 | 2010-01-18 04:32:00 | Thanks everyone sofar. Jen, I've adopted your idea and my laptop is now raised about 50mm above the desk surface. Others, I've removed the cover over the fan and given it and the fins a good blasting with compressed air. I've installed SpeedFan and after running for a couple of hours the CPU temp. is 75C.
