Need to cool my Mythos G15

This laptop is getting fair hot and I need to do something to help the cooling. It gets hot even while I am just browsing the internet and the fan is working perfectly. Is there anything I can do to help the cooling? In all honesty this laptop needs a second cooling fan cause I havent ever come across a laptop that gets so hot before.

 

Have you tried cleaning out the vent, heatsink, and fan? You can also put better thermal paste on the CPU and/or video card. I use Antec Formula 5.

BTW what are your temps? Use HWmonitor or Core temp to check.

 

I realy dont want to open the laptop. I have Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste and two step thermal paste remover. I saw in another thread on the modding section that somebody added two small coolers to the GPU cooler. I think they were either mosfet coolers or ram coolers from a gpu.

Heres my current HWMonitor reading but the laptop is only turned on with three minutes so its still fairly cool.

When does it overheat? Those temps are fine. When the GPU gets to 90C and CPU gets to 90C, then I would start to worry.

 

My Laptop is so hot too, I tried to cleaning out the vent, heatsink, and fan... but it s still hot.

After cleaning:
Core #0 89°C
Core #1 90°C

GPU 78°C

What can I do to make it cooler . Any one can help?

 

Follow the undervolting guide to lower the CPU temperature without reducing performance.

Thanks John very much,

After try "undervolting", the cpu temp descrease 15°C. Unbelievable!
Thats great solution!
