Message: [QUOTE="cerebral.flatulation, post: 5478, member: 795"] DavHen - I've never seen one of those fan mounts before... interesting... I took a look at the non-fan one Ric linked as well. My quick-fix solution when I absolutely need to use my computer for a while is to mount it on two ice-packs from the freezer. That keeps the processor temp around 80F (26C) for 2-3 hours until the packs warm up. Yesterday I did that. After I'd done it for like 2 hours I thought to myself "It should be fine now..." and put them back in the freezer. Within 30 minutes it skyrocketed from 82F to about 132F and started it's sleep cycles again... I use a lapboard so its on a flat surface, but it doesn't seem to help. Today I've got it propped up like Ric suggested and it's hovering around 120F (49C). I downloaded Temperature Monitor (and a widget to convert F -> C :o ) and I'm keeping track of things now. I'll get back to you on what I learn over the evening and tomorrow. Question: Is it possible to change the fan settings on my PowerBook so that they start going around 120F instead of the high 140's? That would probably help alot... Has anyone used the Antec cooler system or the one Ric linked? How much do they help? Thanks again for the feedback guys. :) [/QUOTE]
