[QUOTE="SalvatoreV, post: 1408640, member: 254335"] I do a lot of live streaming and flash game playing on my macbook. Anytime this happens, my fan revs up to its 6000 RPM max, and keeps my computer at about 150-160 degrees (I know this is within the limits, but its still pretty warm for lap use). Also it is pretty loud once it gets up there in RPMs. (again not a real issue, but given the poor speaker quality, it makes it tough to hear things sometimes). So, my question is simple. Can I update my fan to something more powerful or quieter or anything? I don't particularly want to use any kind of cooling pad or thing, as they tend to be bulky and just another piece of equipment to deal with (I take my computer around for classes and things), plus, in my experience, the fan still runs just as loud...but if you think that is a better solution, then suggest the one you think is best [/QUOTE]
