    I have an hp dv2000 and I've noticed that it gets quite hot after awhile. I'm thinking of getting a cooling fan or heat pipe pad to lower the temp a bit. Which one do you think works better and what brand?

    thanks.

    yea, the hp series are piping hot!i avg 48-55*F w/o a cooler and you can always feel the heat and hear the fans bah.

    i like the laptop so im going to invest in a cooler as well, but havent decided which one yet...

    I just got the zalman myself and i even use it on my lap and it works fine, might not for everyone but its not as heavy as i expected. does wonders too, my hard drive has dropped 8-10C thanks to this!
