    What's better for less heat? Battery+plug in or plug in itself?

    Plugged in with battery removed, downclocking makes 10% difference for me while not gaming . also some here swear by stand/coolers.

    hehe what a question :)
    baterry+ plugged in will probably more heat but not too much probably some significant small percent (if you warm the baterry)

    you don't need to care here about the heat but for the baterry ;)
