    70C isn't bad for a laptop like yours...and it is definitely tolerable. If you want to control the fans yourself (and increase their power) I do believe a program called I8kfangui will help you.

    thx for your reply
    btw it has a core 2 t7200 and gs 9700 and 2 gb of ram fitted
    i have tried i8kfangui on monitor only it only shows cpu temp tho nothing else
    i have a03 bios is it worth flashing to A05?
    just wondered at what temp the fans come in normally ,what controls this and if it can be changed without using another program
