Like:buy some memory,or you haven't got money then you can change the Best look into Best performance,defragment your hard drive,take you'r PC-s case of,clean your fans, check if the air flow is good(I put some holes in the case and from 60c° decreased to 40° -but look out where you put it becuse you cud ruin the air circulation and that wont be useful) other tips for more speed : (use this for your own responsability) start>run, type in system.ini then hit enter and you will see something like this in a Notepad: ; for 16-bit app support [drivers] wave=mmdrv.dll timer=timer.drv [mci] [driver32] [386enh] woafont=dosapp.FON EGA80WOA.FON=EGA80WOA.FON EGA40WOA.FON=EGA40WOA.FON CGA80WOA.FON=CGA80WOA.FON CGA40WOA.FON=CGA40WOA.FON then under[386enh](the 386 can be other number) type in: LoadLocalHigh=1 ConservativeSwaPfileUsage=1 it shoud look like this: ; for 16-bit app support [drivers] wave=mmdrv.dll timer=timer.drv [mci] [driver32] [386enh] LoadLocalHigh=1 ConservativeSwaPfileUsage=1 woafont=dosapp.FON EGA80WOA.FON=EGA80WOA.FON EGA40WOA.FON=EGA40WOA.FON CGA80WOA.FON=CGA80WOA.FON CGA40WOA.FON=CGA40WOA.FON after that restart. for coments and questions Csabexpert_665@yahoo.com If you did everything and your PC is still overheating try to increase your performance.

then you can change the Best look into Best performance,defragment your hard drive,take you’r PC-s case of,clean your fans, check if the air flow is good(I put some holes in the case and from 60c° decreased to 40° -but look out where you put it becuse you cud ruin the air circulation and that wont be useful)
other tips for more speed :

(use this for your own responsability)

start>run, type in system.ini then hit enter
and you will see something like this in a Notepad:

; for 16-bit app support

[drivers]
wave=mmdrv.dll
timer=timer.drv

[mci]
[driver32]
[386enh]
woafont=dosapp.FON
EGA80WOA.FON=EGA80WOA.FON
EGA40WOA.FON=EGA40WOA.FON
CGA80WOA.FON=CGA80WOA.FON
CGA40WOA.FON=CGA40WOA.FON

then under[386enh](the 386 can be other number)
type in:

LoadLocalHigh=1
ConservativeSwaPfileUsage=1

it shoud look like this:

; for 16-bit app support

[drivers]
wave=mmdrv.dll
timer=timer.drv

[mci]
[driver32]
[386enh]
LoadLocalHigh=1
ConservativeSwaPfileUsage=1
woafont=dosapp.FON
EGA80WOA.FON=EGA80WOA.FON
EGA40WOA.FON=EGA40WOA.FON
CGA80WOA.FON=CGA80WOA.FON
CGA40WOA.FON=CGA40WOA.FON

after that restart.

It takes a while to get a mirror polish, especially on "rough" sinks, but any/every drop in temp increases the life of your cpu. Using a quality thermal compound, properly, will offer temp reductions of a couple degrees, just by itself. Lapping your heatsink and using a quality thermal grease will drop cpu temps up to 5°C.

The only problem now is 3 HDDs which are very close to each other and usually heats up to 45 C. When temperature grows up to 50 I take my portable room fan and place it opposite to my HDDs – it helps :) Hm, my PC is noisy as hell because I always keep my case open to avoid overheating.

Try it. I don´t see a reason why it should not be working with laptops, it depends on the chipsets of the motherboards and the hard drives if they have a sensor for temperatures or not.
