| 841414 | 2009-12-20 08:30:00 | Friends, I have an ASUS s6F notebook. it is a great little active thing, but recently it ge6s so hot that the air that blows out of the cent opening burns my finger. Also, I need a cooling pad now to put it as the bottom gets so hot that is is impossible to have it on my lap. I am afraid leaving it unobserved as I think it could cause a fire. it is a great notebook, fan is blazing non stop. What can this be ? Cheers and thanks for ideas. |

| 841415 | 2009-12-20 09:02:00 | The reason it is so hot is because you have been putting it on your laptop.. You should be putting it on a flat surface so that no air ventways are blocked. Its probably overheating because it is clogged with dust. Get it cleaned out by a laptop specialist Blam |

Leave for an hour and come back and look at wall socket and curse loudly. :lol::lol::lol: | nedkelly (9059) | ||

Get it cleaned out by a laptop specialist Blam I already use one of these beautiful beanbag with a hard plastic flat top to have it on my lap so the underside of the laptop is free for air to circulate. Still it gets very hot. may be an idea to open it and check the vents out. Will think of the wall outlet, though. thanks. |

| 841421 | 2010-01-17 08:17:00 | Found this thread...my ASUS is overheating too. The vent is at the back but I'm concerned how hot the base gets, not helped by minimal clearance it stands from the desk top. I'm thinking about either boring ventilation holes in the desk top and/or putting higher legs on. Any thoughts on this greatly appreciated. Martynz |

| 841422 | 2010-01-17 08:27:00 | You can get cooling pads for laptops. Why not put the laptop on a cake/slice cooling rack (rectangle wire rack with about 1cm legs) and see if that makes a difference. I can't say I've noticed an overheating problem with my ASUS laptop. |

| 841423 | 2010-01-17 09:20:00 | I think everyone comes across a laptop that runs hot for some reason. My ibook g4 runs hot because of the cpu architecture so i stick it on two optical drives and then stick a raised up 12 cm fan under where the cpu is and an old P4 heatsink and fan on the metal casing right above the cpu under the keyboard and wow it dropped from 58 to about 43. | nedkelly (9059) | ||
