i have a packard bell easynote and when it gets hot (i leave it on all day) it runs very slow, ive heard of laptop fans (or coolers) that you sit your laptop on and it stops it over heating

 

anyone got one or got any info on them

nice one bud cheers, will delve further into it, cheaper than i thought aswell

never owned a laptop, but they are supost to be quite good at keeping the temp down

My laptop burns my legs so i might look into this too

My bloody lappy does this also :rant: Starts running slow in the evening when its been on all day, i think i'm gonna look into one aswell! Did'nt even know this was my problem and i did'nt know these things existed! :eek: :D :nana2:

i downloaded the program speedfan 4.35 its free and it monitors your laptop temp. Mines sometimes go's above 90 degrees C.

Thats the one, just click on the download tab in the middle and follow the link

I've got an IBM Thinkpad Z60m, i contacted IBM to say that i think its overheating and they asked why do you think that and i said it gets so hot i can't sit it on my lap and they told me your not supposed to have it on your lap. I think thats why laptops are now called notebooks.

Their cheaper on ebay, i just bought this one so i'll let you know how it is-

There are cheaper ones but i thought because you can raise this one up it will be able to draw cooler air from underneath.

Just throw it in the freezer for half an hour!

 

 

Disclaimer: this might make things worse :wack:

My fan arrived today so will let you know how it performs.

I downloaded this last night and my laptop was great all night! :D Maybe it was just a fluke, but i will be testing it over the next few days :)

Well my laptop has been running for over 2 hours now and according to speedfan the HDD is 38C and the other temp at 39C. Its normally reading about 78-90+Celcius and has flames showing on the display so i would say this really does make a difference.

I think i agree so far mate, mine has been 1000 times better so far :nana2:

 

Thanks for the tip BTW :duffer: :duffer: :duffer:
