    hey all , I bought MSI 16F2 from powernotebooks.com and here is my spec.
    Model #: 16f2-12
    CPU: 2630qm
    GPU: 560m GTX
    Screen: 15.6 inch 1080p
    8GB 1333mhz ram

    I've been having wired temps. recently on my GPU , I used to get 80-85C while playing games maxed out in full HD but now it gets to 93+ and I found out the max temp on GTX 560M is 99C so I need help cooling down my GPU , I tried to find any software to control my fan speed but it hasn't worked and I bought a cooler pad but it hasn't work either so plz help me !
    P.S: I haven't overclocked or anything , I was thinking about it but the temps. stopped me ! thx in advance for your help :)

    You need to clean the fans.

    Dust off the fan, you can easily access it by removing the back panel. The fan is held in place with 1 screw and a cable.
    You may want to dust off the heatsink as well.
    If that doesn't help maybe you need to repaste.
