    Hii guys..
    This 7811FX really could get hot, do you use any specific NB cooler?
    I sometimes use a battery power fan as to suck the hot air from the left fan outlet for a minute and then play for another 10minutes..
    Mind to share your acessories :)
    Not to mention I live in a tropical country..

    two 2-liter bottle caps under the back corners where the rubber feet are.

    I currently use a Belkin Laptop cooler and have an NZXT Cryo LX on the way.

    things to do when your Cryo LX arrives:-

    1). run it at 12v (with stock fans)

    2). remove stock fans and replace them with better ones (eg. Scythe S-flex)

    3). If fans are replaced, they can be overvolted to 15v.
