    I installed a new cpu, and it makes my g60vx overheat. So, I need a stronger fan, but I cant find a replacement fan that is more powerful. I am also planning on putting a bunch of copper heatsinks on the gpu and cpu heatsinks.

    I put my original cpu in, and it works fine, but is on the edge of heat shutdown. I am assuming I need a better fan, has anyone ever upgraded theirs?

    EDIT:
    OK according to GPUZ, i reached a max of 94C while playing world of tanks. I am going to try and put some copper heat sinks in tomorrow.

    But I bought this t9600 used off of ebay, what else could be causing random shutdowns beyond heat? Could this be a bad chip?
