TomJGX 40 Posted June 22, 2014 There isn't one for the 17.. You can try modding the GPU heatsink and it seems it been done before on this forum.Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coolitic 14 Posted June 28, 2014 Make sure that you place your laptop it in a way that allows air to enter freely under the laptop if you want to keep it cool. Also turning off hyper-threading can help.Also, too hot would mean anything over 90. If temperature is generally under 85 it's fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rocksta 10 Posted July 3, 2014 Shame. Mine gets pretty warm. Hate having it on my legs as it makes me get so hot most of the time. Nice in the winter though =p Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
