    Hi everyone,

    I would like to reduce the tempeture of my CPU and GPU. The current tempeture of the GPU is 60C and CPU 50C. I have thermal paste between the heat sink and the chips, but it is not enough. I would like to know if someone has tried the thermal copper pads from ebay or another effective method.

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DV9000-Copper...g_LaptopAccess_RL?hash=item230384a9b8&afsrc=1

    Do you know if the thermal copper pads can really reduce 20% of the tempeture in GPU and CPU?

    Thank you for the help

    I personally owned a dv6424ca with an Nvidia 7200 (crappier than yours, even) awhile back that suffered from problems outlined by this warranty enhancement. Basically, these laptops suffer from overheating issues and failing graphics cards due to the whole Nvidia fiasco (I suggest you read about it) and despite any new BIOS updates issued. My own HP suffered a GPU failure one day when the machine would boot up, but wouldn't display an image. After that, it required just under a dozen or so separate repairs.

    What I'm saying is that if your laptop hasn't failed yet, it will likely do so; as it gets older and older, it will have an ever-increasing probability of failing. I would recommend selling the unit right away to save yourself the trouble.
