    Hello everyone.

    First thing is first, the sticker says Product: HP Pavilian DV2700 then under that it says Service DV2889ea


    The issue I am having is that the heat of the whole laptop. The HDD gets hot, the GPU and CPU get hot as does the RAM....EVERYTHING. This gets annoying when it is sat on my lap *air vent clear* and slowly heating me up.

    I am curious to why the intake vent is so small? It covers only 1/4 of the fan, this does not make sense.

    The last time I recorded the temperatures, the GPU was 80Degrees C and the CPU was 55Degrees C

    Has anyone else got this same heat issue as me?
    Does anyone know a way of keeping the fan on 100% speed? *noise is not an issue*
    Another thing, why is there only 1 fan?
    There should be two right? 1 for CPU and one for GPU.
    Regards,

    -Lee

    High end Intel CPU, NVIDIA GPU, weak HP cooling system. Sounds normal to me. Do make sure that you've updated your BIOS to one that runs the fan 24x7 as those defective NVIDIA chips have a habit of failing otherwise and HP is only offering their enhanced warranty program for their AMD/NVIDIA notebooks and not Intel/NVIDIA for some reason.

    There are many releases for the Bios, right?
    Do you have a link or bios version?

    Flash in the latest one for your notebook. There might be a BIOS setting to toggle fan always on, if so make sure it's on.
