    Hey everyone. I have a Dell XPS m1210 laptop. When playing games (yes i know its not intended for games) I noticed it got EXTREMELY hot.

    Once i got the Blue Screen Of Death:

    Hardware Malfunction
    Call your hardware vendor for support
    Parity Check / Memmory Parity Error
    The system has halted



    Well while playing I alt-tabbed and after 3 min of playing it was at 75 degrees.


    So i stole my brothers cooler which is pretty nice however its kind of big. Its the

    Antec Cooler. Its kind of nice but also semi-big. And the fans arent really located where my openings are for the video card/etc.


    So im wondering if you know of any GOOD and semi quiet ones that are available.


    Thanks!

    To answer your question, online retailers sell 12" notebook coolers + usb ports for around $20. Then you pay for shipping.

    The Targus Tornado Chill Mat and the Spire Pacific Breeze, come to mind. Refer to this excellent guide on how to cool down your notebook.
