    I know it souds stupid but my XPS really needs a cooler. When I use it for a long time, the left side of the laptop tends to get warmer which is irritating. Most of the coolers have fans in the middle so only the center area of my laptop is cool. The left side is still hot. wonder if there's any cooler that would do the magic?

    Get a zalman cooler. The black aluminum matches the XPS and it keeps my M1530 at least 5 degrees cooler on everything.


    Did I mention you almost CAN'T hear the two fans even while on high? But, you can definately feel and see them working.

    remember the hard drive is located on left side of touch pad so you get some heat.

    I bought the thermaltake from circuitcity and it looks ridiculous because it doesn't fit the bottom of my laptop. It's too small. Is your XPS 15''?
