    Hi,

    I just bought the sony VGN-S560P....it becomes TOO HOT! :(
    The hard drive under the laptop become so hot that I almost burn myself.

    I was wondering if someone knows a software to control the fan or the temperature of this laptop. I've tried few ones but it doesn't work most of the time. I've tried RMClock but I did not notice a difference at all.

    The problem is that the fan doesn't run enough. When i'm doing some word, MSN or web surfing it start to become hot but the fan doesn't start. If I want to cool down the system I have to start the "Prime95" program that make some test on the CPU and because it's a demanding task, the fan goes on and the system is cooling down....

    So....if I can find a software that controls the temperature or the fan, it would be ok....but if you have some better idea tell it to me...
