standard studio xds 16 heating HELP

i brought it in september 2009 just b4 i went uni. as we know the design fault of the vent makes it very very hot on the top left component and that area of the screen. everything else around that little part is cool except that stupid component.

since september 2009 its been overheating to 90 deg Celsius with gaming etc fan would be perma on.

last month i brought the zalman note book cooler. thats been on full blast last month and it sorta worked.

idle temp from 71 to 51 degrees

gaming from 90 to 70 degrees

however last few days it just shoots right up to 74-75 when im not doing anything. on facebook /watching movie or skype but then if i put a game on then it hovers around 77

my sound card has crashed at least 40 times moment it reaches over 70 degrees. its soooooooo slow too!!!

warranty runs out nxt month. anyone know what to do?
battery also suddenly become really really hot. its lost a lot so far in 9 months. 1000 mwhz

here are screenies.

any advice.?

studio xps out does its own fan and a laptop cool which i wasted £50 on?

heat just about goes through to keyboard b4 it was unbearable.

 

Clear the fan, clear the baseplate, make sure nothing it blocking any vents, get rid of startup programs, clean temporary files? Thermal paste CPU and GPU.

I've had my laptop since November 2009 and it's fine, still 50 C idle usually. With cooler it's lower.

 

you mean open up and just blow air in and blow on it ye?
isnt the only air vent on the top left blocked by the screen?

 

raizoir: is your laptop's power profile set to Balanced?

 

hi yes its normally on balanced.
i sometimes put on high performance but i dont really know the differnece.
atm cpu usage 100% and im just playin a simple game

my battery is now at 3556 mwh
yesterday i took that screeny it was on 4000
should i do

 

High performance will unnecessarily cause the laptop to produce more heat. Well, besides that, your laptop's still running too hot. Not much you can do besides what fred2028 wrote.

 

does that mean unscrewing and just blowing it all out etc?

can u also explain this link http://forum.notebookreview.com/har...unlock-core-2-extreme-multiplier-windows.html

 

If your laptop has an Extreme Edition CPU (generally you would know if you have one), you used to need to have a laptop with a customizable BIOS that would allow you to use the unlocked multiplier to allow the CPU to run at a faster speed than usual. (for instance the p8600 (2400MHz/2.4GHz) has a 'Bus/Core Ratio' or 'multiplier' of 9, so if it were an extreme edition CPU, you could raise the multiplier to say, 12 and have the CPU run at 3200MHz/3.2GHz, whether the CPU is stable at such a speed is another matter, though). However, now you can try use that program instead, if the BIOS doesn't support it.

Yes, to the first question.

 

ok cool thanks. ill try unlocking it. whne im bored

ill guess i ll get new battery
