    I have problems with my notebook. WoW let my fingers burn. I use NHC and the ATI Catalysator. The Heat of gpu and cpu is under 55 degree. But still the left side of my keyboard is hot. WASD keys. All ohter games like Oblivion, Empire at War and Civilisation, at these games i do not get any heating problem.
    What is the solution? Where is the problem. Plz help me..
    Can it be the Harddisk?Because WoW using too many ressources?

    The problem lies on the hard disk. We have 36°C here in Germany. But NHC does not show me my HD temperature.
    Everything is far okay as posted before. Now how to cooldown the HD?

    I bought a coolpad and it helped me only to cooldown my cpu :(

    Try HDTune and see if you can get a temperature reading:

    If not, then your hard drive might not have a temperature sensor . .

    The cooling pad should help cool down the entire notebook, so your hard drive probably lost a few degrees C as well.
