    Just a random observation, so some of you guys might known that i built my own laptop cooler. Now my base was a stackable file organizer, so there were these tabs that stuck out. I normally would just rest my laptop on top of those tabs, with about half a cm distance between the mesh and the laptop. This weekend i got fed up with the slight wobble i would get using the tabs, so i pryed them out a bit so my dv5t would sit flush with the mesh, and WOW what a difference in temperatures!

    for once my hard drive is hotter than my gfx card!

    edit: my gfx card max after playing codmw2 for about 2 hours was 57
