Hi there, sorry for the long post, but my laptop keeps getting too hot while playing; its not so hot that the computer turns off or anything, but its so hot its unbearable to play. (The heat seems to be localized to the left of the touchpad, around where my spacebar/alt/CTRL is on the keyboard.)

I ran the benchmark and tweaked settings til they were at their minimum, I eventually got a score of "3208 Fairly High", and while my computer didn't get hot while doing the benchmark, after about 5-10 minutes of play, its so hot I just can't be asked to play anymore. I've tried two separate cooling pads (Havit and Targus), as well as having the computer next to a big box fan. Neither seemed to help all that much.

Is there anything I could do to alleviate the heat further? Some setting I'm missing or some third party program that might help or tweaking somewhere in the computer? I've of course tried simple things like compressed air on the vents, but I'm not really comfortable opening the laptop up to do anything else.
