    My zepto 6625WD started overheating since 2 months now.
    Everytime I start a game, after 10 minutes the gpu is about 100° and the game starts to lag and shock.

    I know this is propably due to the nvidia bug, so there is probably no solution.

    I once read of someone here with a 6625WD who had a cooler to put your laptop on (don't know how it's called), would this help?

    Try putting a book or a dvd enclosure under the back of the laptop, it usually helps the laptop to breath. Also, try searching this part of the forums for overheating, there are many threads conserning the matter.

    First of all, follow Thorne's advice.

    A decent cooler (like the Zalman NC1000) will take the temps down between 5-10 degrees.
    Undervolting your CPU can lower the CPU temps 5-10 degrees, lowering the overall heating also.
    Also make sure that your fans aren't blocked by dust bunnies so try to clean them regularly.
