The 600ms do heat very fast, especially during gaming.  Make sure you blow the fan vent out every week or so, to ensure the maximum cooling ability.  I use speedfan to monitor my cpu and hd temps (do  a google search to find the software).  During normal temps my cpu is at 30-40 degree C, if it gets much over 55-60, I would get concerned as running it like this for a long time could cause damage.  With that said during gaming mine rarely rises above 50-52 degree C.

Thx

How about hard drive, what is it's max temperature? I heard its operating from 6-to 55 C. Usually the temperature for my HD is 53. Mine is 80Gb,

Also, how do I blow out the vents?
Thx

Yes, that is about what my hd runs at as well, I think again, you wouldn't want to run it over 60 degree C for to long as it may cause damage.

 

When your laptop is off and unhooked flip it over and you should see, a small vent.  It has the graded edges on it...just buy a can of compressed air from, Staples,Walmart,ect, and use it to blow out any dust that might be there.  You can then use the can to blow out the keyboard.  If  you do it once a week or so, it will keep any dust from caking on there and blocking air flow.  That is the #1 reason people have issues with there laptops overheating.

The most important thing is to have clear, and DRY air inside  air sompressed can, or other thing (without water particles, because if they get on motherboard....big problams than!)

Thx!

Well, I think we can use a vacuum cleaner on reverse mode too for that. Can we?

Any other suggestions?

No Prob!
 
I don't know about the Vaccum cleaner, I guess it wouldn't hurt as long as it didn't have a real strong vaccum, you wouldn't want to pull anything loose! :smileysurprised: I guess one of those small electronic vacs would work!  Good Luck!
