D420, Any great ideas for reducing heat?

Question

Got my 420 about a month ago, and am really happy except for the excessive heat output. I see through the air intake vent that a copper dissipation coil is partly covered with a barcoded strip of paper. I am guessing that this is probably not affecting the heat dramatically, but still something for Dell to consider. I've installed I8kfanGUI, and this helps a tad. I've also found that my virus scanning software greatly adds to the load, so find that turning this off helps.Anyone come up with any other ideas for decreasing heat?ThanksJG
