    first of my specs:
    dual 8800GTX sli
    4GB ram
    2.60 cor 2 duo
    Vista ultimate

    my laptop is getting REALLY hot!
    you never hear my fans and i can barely feel them even when playing games.
    is there a way to speed them up?
    oh and my lcd on the keyboard where do i get 3dr party extensions for it?

    Yep,but I love the fact that they`re quiet. The thing is that you should raise the back of the laptop and under no circumstance are you to keep it next to a wall, there`s quite a good ammount of heat coming from it. Make sure it has room to dissipate.
