I have a G70, which runs hot. I used a vacuum cleaner and sucked out
all the openings I could find, which cooled it some. Then I also got
a Xpad-slim. It's running at 40.0C right now. It goes up when I'm
doing some heavy processing. Once in a while FireFox 3.0 pushes the
temp up, but I can watch streaming movies or YouTube with no
problems, although the temp does rise some.
My understanding is that HPs are notorious for high temps. :(((
