    Ok. My question is about mobile processors. Do newer laptops have heatsinks??? Fans??? mine doesnt, but it is an old P1.

    Is this why AMD mobiles overclock better???
    Do you need a heatsink, or will it cool itself??
    Can you put a heatsink on one to overclock a lot more?

    basiclly every computer has a fan, and i think every processor has to have a heatsink or it will not cool enough to run. laptops obviously would have smaller heatsinks becuase of the lack of room in the case. ( i think, check me if i'm wrong) but like others have said in past threads you shouldn't overclock a laptop, there just not made for it.

    Just a quick reply,,some of the top end laptops ,,IE desktop replacement models have up to date cooling,,I have a gateway Pent 4 ---2.8 mhz with Hyper Thread Tech,,,my processor is split in 2 with 2 seperate logical brains,,,therefore it requires lots of air ,,Im posting a pic of the bottom of my laptop,,not the best pic,,,,,,but it shows 2 GOOD size fans ,,,,that blow out the back of unit through copper/aluminum heat fins ,,,,Glenn
