Found something that seems to help. It's a little laptop gadget called
CoolPad. I saw a lot of references to it in the Dell Forum, so I thought I'd try one. So far so good. It has helped to consistently drop my temps by 4-5 degrees celcius in AW (and I'm between 43-45C when AW isn't running). It also helps to hold my laptop more securely on my portable desk. If you're interested in checking it out, I included the links below. I bought the Targus version of the Podium CoolPad, only because it was more accessible to me. The CoolPad is also manufactured (originally) and is sold by a company called RoadTools. RoadTools offers a lifetime guarantee, while Targus only offers a one year guarantee. The CoolPad comes in two versions -- the Traveler, and the Podium. http://www.roadtools.com/ http://www.targus.com/product_details.asp?sku=PA241U Kimi |
