go to the dump and pick up a few old pcs you can always find them knocking arround, people will throw away everything.
take out hte fans from the old pcs and mount them under your laptop or inside your pc, you could even use the old psu to run them]


will definately help to keep  your system nice and cool 8)

    I'm still trying to get over the mental image I got from this suggestion.

      Temperature registered at unplugged laptop (battery) @ 791 MHz only & free air:

      Core: 55-59°C
      Temp1: 76°C

      So now it's switched back.
      App: SpeedFan

      Well anyway, I get these high temps because I heavily develop games in Visual Studio. It soups up avg 200 MB per project, ~300-400 at runtime. I also have a lot of apps running..etc..

      Does SpeedFan give you temps for both cores?  If not, try Core Temp.

        The problem is it gets hot no matter what. Ok it doesn't get hot on 791 MHz unplugged and free air but come on, I'm a heavy computer user. I have average 15 tabs open on things (firefox excluded)..

        Examples:

        - XNA GameStudio (VS 2008 Pro)
        - ReSharper constantly reviewing my code (VS 2008 Pro)
        - mspaint (screenshots)
        - iis (hosting temporary screenshots)
        - MS Word 2007 (writing down my blog on my project)
        - several notepads (extra notes for project)
        - DynDns Updater (update .. yeah)
        - SetPoint (Logitech..)
        - etc.

        It all takes a nice average 500-600 MB of my RAM. =)
        I still think I need a fan though. ^^
