9880 Cooling

Hey everyone. I just got a 9880 and am loving everyminute of it. I got 2 beefs with it. 1st off. ITS FREAKING HOT. Burn my finger hot, i kid you not. Next, one of my fans on the back right seems to work intermitantly (sp?).

My question is: I was looking into "laptop" coolers and saw the Targus Tornado Chill Mat™ (PA248U) in Circuit City. It seems to have gotten good reviews. Is this a good cooler to get for this computer? If not, is there another one that someone could recommend? Also, i noticed that some, if not all, of the fans on teh bottom blow in, not out. Would these coolers mess the airflow up?

Thanks for any advice/recommendations guys/gals. Cheers!

It throttles your fans into "high mode" for additional cooling.

Hey thanks! It'll throttle even thought there is no writing on the key?

Also, to my orginal question. Anyone use a notebook cooler for their Sagers (9880)? How about that Targus mentioned before?

This is the best laptop cooling method so far:

Suhweet!!!!

Both of those are just what i was looking for. My sager is too big to fit on a dinner tray table, so that tray is ideal. Those Feet are perfect, since my laptop sits too low anyway. Thanks to both of you for the suggestions.

Just an update. I tried pushing fn/f2 and nothing is happining. I was reading something about the ability being available in the newest bios version. Do i have that? i'm running 10.0.04 or something like that. if i don't, then where can i get it or which one is it. I looked on Sager's site for driver downloads but there is only the same bios version posted
