    Hey everyone,
    Brand new to this forum, so first of hi to everyone hope your havign a good day/night.

    Ive got a Packard Bell Easynote SB65.
    Now im not a computer geek, infact far from it, if it is not in the magical World of Warcraft then chance are i will not know much about it.

    Well, as you have guess i like to play WoW... no im not a complete addict, i just like to play it to get aay from the stress of schoolwork during the week.

    I bought (got my poppy to buy i mean) this laptop purely because i thought it looked good for playing games on, which i was correct, it ran WoW fantastically. For about an hour, then it shutdown.

    Now im quite sure it is because it is too hot, as it did the same thing at a similar time when i had it on my lap and i almost lost a testicle from the heat of the plastic bottom.

    Sorry for the novel.... lol :p
    Anyone got some idea on what would be the best laptop cooler to keep this from happening, (mainly the shutting down as if im happy inge i wont notice the testicle frying).
    Price isnt really an objective unless its ridiculous as im very persuasive, and ill convince my dad its needed for my movie project for Drama or Media Studies.


    Thanks in advance.

    x2 for the Zalman NC1000/2000.. the bottom of my notebook is cool to the touch

    Also remember to make sure that the vents on the bottom/back of your notebook aren't blocked (eg. playing games while on your bed/carpet.. or even straight on your lap)... good thing you never lost your testicle! haha.. you may have lost a few of your good "soldiers" though

    X3 for Zalman and Review in signature

    Even with a cooler it is required to play on a hard surface since you CANNOT block airflow if you are to cool your notebook.
