Yeah an HP G50 Laptop, I'm pretty sure that it is the GPU/HDD making most of that heat, I was thinking of applying some new TC under the Heatsinks (as well as cleaning them) Also I have mine sitting on top of a grill (BBQ maybe?
) so it kinda floats there

What kind of laptop? mine has a 2.1 Sempron (a tough little chip that one is)
I am also a pretty heavy smoker so it tends to suck that up also (needs constant vent cleaning) Also how do you change a laptops CPU, I always thought those were integrated like the GPU's are?
