    Dirty bird.

    I came in here to ask, "Is there a dog in the house with the LT." Well, I can see that would have been the right thing to ask.

    I just thought of something on my way to work this morning. Did you happen to lay down some new thermal grease on the cpu and highly recommend on the gpu cooler as well. Not only will this help but it will keep the laptop much cooler.

    I didn't remove the CPU....

    Or the GPU...

    I assume you mean as a preventative/ improvement measure?

    It could help to bring down the temp a few degrees.

    Right on both counts my fans almost never run anymore unless I am running dreamweaver cs3 photoshop cs3 and some other intensive program all at the same time simply because it does not get hot enough. So I would say it is more than a few degrees improvement.

    It depends on what is on there to begin with.

    Very true my laptop hadn't been taken apart in 3 or 4 years, but in general most companies skimp on thermal grease for some unknown reason.
