    Hey, I have the m17x R2 with CF 5870ms. And I am getting about 100'C which is apparently ''normal'' but I am a bit worried about this. So I was thinking about picking up the Antec 200 notebook cooler

    Antec Notebook Cooler 200 Review

    Has anyone got anything to say about this? I look forward to purchasing this soon.

    I could perhaps do the 5870m cooling mod but I am in-experienced with opening up the laptop except the HDD bay area. A step by step guide as to how would be nice, that is if you suggest the mod over the cooling pad.

    Anything helps!

    :)

    Make sure Stealth mode is disabled, ATI catalyst AI is on Advanced, and Crossfire is enabled.
