    I decided my laptop was too hot, usually maxing around 89-94C during gaming sessions. I had a fan at my place that I use when it gets hot and I want to save money on the AC. This fan is a beast and really moves air (it is used to dry floors).

    I put that baby on settings 1 of 3 (the lowest) and pivoted the nozzle down towards the keyboard/side GPU fan vent.

    With a GPU and CPU OC'd and playing BC2 for 30 min on full servers I got..
    GPU Max - 65C
    CPU Max - 60C

    T9900 OC to 3.5
    260m OC to 585 980 1515

    GPU Idle - 34C
    CPU Idle - 29C

    Yes the fan is audible, and the air blows on your fingers a bit, but it's not cold and it feels a lot better than having my palms get hot and sweaty from the laptop while gaming. It also works a hell of a lot better than the laptop cooler I wasted money on.
