Hey guys,

I have a 2-year old M860TU clevo notebook here and I constantly get annoyed at the heat it produces right beneath my right palm (where the notebook status LEDs are). I removed the bottom plate, and the only thing I've found is an Intel Wireless 5100 WLAN module. Touching it I almost burnt myself...
I would love to cool it somehow - but I have no idea how.
Anyone else experience this and maybe has some suggestions on what do to in order to cool it?

Would be happy about any replies.

Kind regards,
MHOOO

Is suggest you go the Soviet way: Check out this thread, it's another model, but the part about enhacing cooling on the WLAN card also applies for your laptop.
