    i always knew my laptop was a little warm, but this is just browsing the internet with aim, and windows media player running.
    are these a little high?
    and when i had speed fan back a while ago ive seen some things go 100c plus a lot while gaming.

    anyone else have a g1 that runs hot?
    any fixes for this?

    pffft. That's nothing. My hard-drive was idling around 55-57 Celsius. A notebook cooler lowers things to 46 Celsius.

    Also, MasterShake. The way to fix those really hot temperatures are to clean out the dust from the laptop.


    If say you have dust clogging one of those really hard to clean spots (like the heat pipe that goes from cpu and gpu to the fan.) then well..you're going to have to take the laptop completely apart.

    I didn't want to do that so I just used a can of compressed air on the vents and fan (and used a q-tip).

    Watch out with using the q-tip on the vent grill where the mylar (silver warrranty sticker thing) was because the grill will still be sticky and the q-tip fuzz will get stuck on it.

    A few links:

    Cleaning a notebook (with pics from an asus that sadly ours can't do...meaning we can't remove the fan without getting the entire thing open): http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=143168

    ASUS G1S disassembly guide (G1 uses same chassis as G1S, pretty much): http://1toppc.com/Merchant2/images/Notebook/Assembly/G1S-Chapter02-v1.2.pdf For getting to the vents you just have to undo one of the service panels.

    For cleaning out the heat pump I think you gotta do everything but...well...I wouldn't do that unless you feel really comfortable with taking apart and putting your computer back together.

    G1S (and technically G1 too) Resource center: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=146088 There's a part about improving the cooling down at section 11. ....sure the dude drill's holes in the bottom of the computer while he puts it on a notebook cooler so it might not be for you, but apparently it worked.


    Also umm, that silver tape thing that connects the fan to the vents is supposed to go back onto your computer. I couldn't get mine to stick back on. Hopefully that isn't a big deal but try to get it back on for your computer when you clean it out.
