    Yes I know about the fail, it's closed...now its summer and I use my laptop for gaming more now....and you know what happens...30 minutes and the laptop shuts down because of heat..

    I decided I will makes holes through the vents...I'm just asking how to do it, or its even safe to do it without removing the cover?

    Please before you do that Undervolt your CPU it helped me a lot when I had my 5738G ... The drilled holes got me nothing more than 2~4c max ... is it worth it ??? for my machine at least it wasn't ... Undervolting got me over 15c on the processor & that affected the GPU dramatically ... I ran my T6600 back then on 0.9375 Volts on the max multiplier

    Have you cleaned out the vents on the heat exchanger?

    the 1.4 default is 0.925 ... I ran the 2.2 on 0.9375 ... make sure that you undervolt the top multipliers which if memory serves me well the 11x & 10x
