I've been searching for a way to cool it down. Best thing i can find is a usb powered fan that sits under the note book! cpu fan is ok but the hddtemp reading can go up to near 60 deg c without the fan coming on. Would really like to stick with ubuntu but not at the expense of cooking my machine! Might just have to sell it. What did you get for it out of interest? Post comment by all means.
