Laptop overheating

Submitted by Keith E. Whisman on Fri, 2008-04-11 15:27.

For that guy with the overheated Laptop..

Most computer and component manufacturers like to ship their products with the fans set to be barely audible. This intails turning the fans down to where they are just barely moving air. When the laptop is new it cools great but over time the fins on the small heatsink get covered in dirt and this reduces their ability to transfer heat to the air.
This is the case for all of the Heat sinks I've ever owned and I've owned alot over the past twentyfive years.

You can increase the speed of your system fans by downloading a small utility called speedfan. You can get it at download.com. I hope that this solves your problem.

Sorry Gordon...

The podcaster dude (sorry forgot his name!) does a great job in keeping with the theme of question and topic! Especially when Gordon and the bunch go astray! LOL... so I really appreciate that!

Andy Does Rule

I have to agree. Andy has been an awesome addition and a more than suitable replacement for Jeremy.

Keep up the great work, Andy!

Gordon sound board

Well if you right click within the soundboard you'll see options for adobe flash 9. So it's a safe bet that it's a flash based program.

Clearly it's a Flash based program - it's a SWF file, I was wondering if it was some soundboard maker program -maybe the one mentioned last podcast (I don't remember what it was called)-
