    Hey,

    I have noticed if I take out my smartbay slot, and just leave it empty, my m15x stays so much cooler - and I can feel the air coming out of it. The airflow is much greater, and I liturally drop from 86 degress when playing farcry for hours, to 69-70 degrees (using hwmonitor).

    Try it, and see the difference ;)

    I remove my rear battery. I should try the SB.

    Haha I hope that was a joke with the ice water. You could always take apart the whole laptop and custom rig a liquid cooling system together. That would take away the point of having a laptop though :)
