    The left side's ok all the while when browsing, firefox with 2-4 tabs open. It's only cool when idle. It gets warm when I play Burnout Paradise City for a couple of hours, gets hot when I play Prototype for a long time. Right side stays cool all the while.

    Well not sure about 4 hours, you'd probably have to set the profile to Power Saver and bring brightness down abit. I get 3 hours fine with Balanced.

    GPU temps suck though, no excuse. Mine idles at 60, I haven't actually checked when gaming but I suspect it gets all the way up to the 80s 90s. Like I said before, kind of sad cos M860TU owners like you can keep a much more powerful GPU cooler T.T

    Has anybody done something to prevent the heating? Is it possible to make copper mod for JHL90?

    Hey Guys,

    Quick update. I have Windows 7 installed an the temps are amazing. While gaming I cannot make the temps go above 80 degrees. I think Windows i underclocking cpu/gpu along with nvidia's drivers cause that is amazing. The GPU always used to run around 90 when gaming... now 80. I am sooo happy with windows 7.

    My GPU temps started kicking up right before the warranty expired (xfd)

    it idles at 70c, +/- a few degrees depending on ambient temperature. i can't play game modern games without tripping the auto-hard-turn-off safety switch (CoD5 on 4xAA, 1280x800 runs only a few minutes at most [ramps up to 105c], wc3 runs for almost an hour before it starts slowing significantly[at 98c]).

    putting a hairdryer blowing cool air into the bottom left vents brought it down to 55c in just under a minute, though. so if you can find a cooler that can force direct air into the vent(s), it'd work wonders. I'm working on a DIY cooler at the moment (or rather, searching for materials and guides xd), if anyone else has tried or wishes to try, throw in your feedback and whatnot pls

    cheers
