Cool down gpu laptop

A couple of things.
There are programs available that cause your fan to run more also in advanced power options there is settings under processor which allow you to adjust what it runs at and any percentage less is a improvement I have turned both done to 90% and noticed no difference to performance
check what is running. ctrl alt delete as your might be running flat out with programs you don't use.
buy a cheap cooling pad with a big fan in the middle stick two strip of wood one at each end on the pad.
remove all the panels from the underside of the laptop and place on top of the strips now attached to the pad
removing the battery whilst plugged in will also reduce the temp.

an alternative would be get a box and lay the laptop on top and draw round. cut along the side lines and the back line and fold up creating a flap. cut off a strip from the top of the flap the same thickness as your laptop screen. place 4 small items like lids in the bottom of the box to make a gap under the laptop when its inside. cut some holes or a strip out the front of the box about the height of where the laptop will sit. cut two holes in the back of the box and place two pc fans over the holes.
make a small hole for the power lead and connect a external keyboard wireless or cabled.
place the laptop into the box and close the flap tape down or for less permanent lay something over the cuts like a large book or board
the box will act as a extractor pulling air across the laptop and sucking hot air out of the box.
the reason you cut a bit off the flap is to allow the screen to point up out of the box.
excluding the fans this would cost next to nothing and take about 5 minutes to make
i would leave the fan alone.... they build them in a certain way so there is an even balance between entering air and outgoing air!!!

but you can find a copper heatsink from the manufacturer.... or you could just simply get 2 copper shims that go inbetween the heatsink and the gup/cpu chips...

worked for my old laptop. if you are going to change fans though... make sure same amount in that is going out so it circulates properly.

i did this copper shim trick with the super slim ps3's.... made them quit freezing!!!!

hope this helps... dont forget to get some high quality thermal paste with those copper shims and apply to both sides of the shim...

example: on gpu/plate plate/heatsink...

ill give ya a pic of them so you can visually see whAT IM talking about:

The_Healer :
It actually shuts down because of the heat? Take it up with Sony. That strikes me as defective.

If you've already tried everything on the forums, you're going to struggle to get it cooler, laptops aren't very flexible as far as switching out parts goes.


IMO all laptops are poorly desined with fans at bottom when they know you are gonna set it on a pillow/lap hense the name... but anyways...

i dont think its the companies fault.... when your computer gets that hot. there is something wrong ....very wrong.

most likely dust on heatsink/ fans shut off due to dirt/ no thermal applied or not good enough brand of thermalpaiste or you need to upgrade to copper heatsink/shims... but the best solution is whole heatsink made of copper... but actually silver is way better conductor and will dissipate much more heat than copper. but is way to expensive compared to copper!

ive got a fan boost option on my laptop... a button above the keyboard for when im gaming... it will boost up the fans and shove all heat out of the system and create tones of cool air... i dropped my cpu from 90degrees to 75

with it... its a little loud and speeds up like a jet engine but it gets the job done, when gaming/rendering video.:lol:
