    Wondering if there are better fans you can upgrade the Z70VA with to keep it cooler as mine has always ran quite hot.

    im using centrino hardware control and have it set on dynamic switching. From what ive read on the forums notebook coolers dont do much to help the problem. Am i wrong??

    I have the cheap targus notebook cooler (think its called the chillpad)... I only use it when gaming and it keeps the temps around high 60s. When I'm using the computer for work or internet, i dont use the cooler, but use dynamic switching which keeps it in the high 50s.
