    None. It does not get as hot as my old PowerBook (nor as loud). I play Guild Wars a few hours at a time with my Ferrari sitting on my lap.

    I am starting to wonder if maybe I got a 'golden sample' unit. I don't seem to have any of the problems others are having with their Ferraris.

    For my Ferrari 3200, sometimes it gets so hot that it shuts down itself. So i am considering of buying either the Lapcool 4 by Vantec or Coolermaster's notepal

    Yikes! There is something wrong with it if it gets that hot.

    Is there any warranty left?

    If it were me I might pop it open and make sure that there is a good bond between the CPU, GPU and heatsink/heatpipe. I might apply some arctic silver thermal compound.
