    Laptops are hard to cool, because there so compact. There is basicly no room in then to install more fans, or upgrade heatsinks fans.

    You might be able to get a laptop cooler like this one. I have not used this one, but something like this is all i can reccomend.

    Also having your laptop cooler really wont effect performance. The only way cooling would help drasticly is in overclocking. Which is a big no no with laptops

    one option you have is to open up your laptop and replace the white gunk with arctic silver. either that or invest in an expensive replacement chip that runs much cooler... although performance will be sacrificed.

    You could also do what Strogg said. Get some Arctic Siler 3 or 5 and replace the thermal compound on the porcessor and GPU. Maybe some ram sinks for the video card, and your memory will make a difference to. Always remember that laptops have very limited space. Make sure something is going to fit before you use adheisive to put them on. i.e. the ram sinks. ;)
