    Hey guys, I just did the copper mod, or rather, aluminum mod. And the fan still constantly runs. Should we flash to an earlier BIOS to stop the constant running of the fan? It really kills my battery life with the fan constantly running. I get idle temps of around 40-45 for the CPU and GPU, using the Nvidia 167.45 drivers and a penryn T9300.
