[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1422883, member: 71075"] There are generally one of three causes for reduced airflow (or a combination of causes): poor ventilation caused by blockage (ie. a lap or a blanket), clogged fans or broken fans. If the fans are working, that eliminates the last option. However, you've still got two very real options here and one that you admit to (closing off the means of ventilation). Start by using it on a surface that is hard and clear of clutter. If the problem persists, let us know. EDIT: Quick Look, in any sense, should not be using that much CPU power. Force quit it (it will likely restart) and see if that helps. An aside: I wish the term notebook supplanted laptop so people would stop using them on their laps. Not only is it bad for ventilation, but for males, it has adverse consequences for the reproductive organs. [/QUOTE]
