    Hi,

    I'd like to get some opinions on what's the best fan setup for a Dell XPS L702X.
    The setup I have now has two of the fans under the 2 vents on the bottom of the laptop and 1 fan right under the exhaust vent. But I noticed that the left palm rest is usually the hottest part of the laptop because I believe that's where the GPU and CPU are located. I was wondering if it would be beneficial to place a fan under the left palm rest (would that have any effect?) or if the fans are good where they are.

    Thanks.
