    Does anyone know what the Thermal Zones are in Notebook Hardware Control? Because my laptop CPU seems to underclock itself whenever one of the thermal zones reaches passive cooling temperature (though the CPU is nowhere near reaching critical temp.)

    I am thinking that it is my ATI x700 that is overheating as it only happens when WoW is running fullscreen (it's actually cooler when minimized though).

    If that's the case, which it probably is knowing my luck, would buying a laptop cooler do the trick and keep the temps down?
