    Hi, i have a problem (at least I think is problem) with my laptop, it heats too much, I bought it like, 1 year ago. I visited a thread, at this forum, and saw this picture
    >>>>>> http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/b989f782f4a69a3f2dc580507d1119dd6g.jpg <<<<<
    where you can notice the cooler opening is quite bigger than the one on my laptop (see pictures) is this normal? also I get nigh temperatures readings on "HWmonitor" (CPU - 86C, 186F and GPU - 79C, 174F) :eek:

    what to do? :confused:

    Here's a link to a pic of the exhaust port on my 8943G. http://instagr.am/p/Im3uHvKsFl/

    It is the larger size as noted in the mediafire pic. Nonetheless, my Aspire produces a tremendous amount of heat when running multiple programs.

    Use gas duster (canned air) to clean the vents. If it isn't enough you may want to consider opening the notebook and cleaning it thoroughly and possibly re-pasting with high quality thermal paste.

    should I be worried? how come my air intake opening (on my laptop) is so small? :eek: also, I cannot find a proper cooler stand for a 18.4" laptop, or a backpack!
