    updating your bios might change the on/off points of your fan,, resulting in a more efficent cooling profile..

    just a thought

    Well yeah..Try to cool it down. Use The Cooling Guide and The Undervolting Guide. It's a start.

    Watching movies wont hurt your notebook.Make sure not to keep & work on bed.Bottom of your notebook have air intake fans.Do not cover that intake area

    so you mean just elevate it a bit? - how would you make a 'cooling pad'?

    with the warm weather i don't mind a standard fan blowing on me too and that seemed to help.
