    Hi I am the happy owner of an Acer 8204, but I was wondering how many fans it has, or is supposed to have. I only notice one that runs on the right hand side, but there are many vents on the bottom. Are those just intakes for the one main fan, or are there supposed to be more running under there.

    It was brought to my attention when I noticed it struggling to keep 50C, and struggling to keep 60C during a game. Its on a flat wood desk with nothing blocking the vent and the ambient temp is about 68F.
