You can try to buy a cooling pad. I like the spire pacific breeze.

In order to improve the airflow on mine, I propped up the notebook by putting bottlecaps under the rubber feet.

a normal d900t should not have any problems with heat. why would you want to try cooling it down any further?

try fn+f2 if you really need to forcefully cool it down.

becuase my notebook has just gone off(writing@another pc)and there was smoke coming out of it!!!
i think some cable burned(!!!!!!!) and i did not overclock it
so there is a problem with the heat i think
the d900t was also a bit higher (i put some door stoppers under it(0.5 mm)

but the cpu has also been 60° (sometimes more) in office use...the coolers were loud.....

a cooling pad culd be an possibility but then it would be very high and i dont know if its not disturbing the air circulation or something...

i tink u need an special bios version for the "fn+f2" think dont u?

*sorry for my very bad english*

Honk, it sounds like something bad happened to your notebook. Does it still start? 60C is too high for general office use.

A cooling pad wont disrupt the airflow. A lot of people use the Spire Pacific Breeze with the D900 chassis and it works very well.

I also use the Pacific Breeze cooler with my NP5320, it is excellent. The D900T's Pentium 4 processor is what causes it to get hot.

smoke is ALWAYS a very bad sign. I wonder if you have a short or something. My advice is call whomever you bought it from about RMA'ing it.

Only other thing I can think of is make sure the fans aren't clogged with lint/dust, and that there heatsinks are clean.

goodluck.

smoke means your voltage regs are going bad and you will need a new mobo

While this is a common issue on that mobo revision and earlier, this issue can affect all laptops alike. The main causes of smoke etc are the voltage regulator and it does sound like it in this case as well. However, this can be brought about by heat from stress and other things like dust. Your notebook has to get pretty hot in order to produce smoke and fry itself, and extended gaming, improper usage(lap etc), and dust buildup will all cause this issue. This is also a very different issue than the normal malfunctioning Voltage Reg. which is caused by stress or 'tweaking' the DC in jack, damaging connects which will not allow your notebook to charge. But you may see similar effects like random startups/shutdowns and sporadic battery charges if at all or lack of wall power.

what i ment is it seems to be a common defect in v5.2 boards (from what ive read and asked people anyway). notice how they completely changed the vrm layout on v5.3? the vrm that i am reffering to is next to the power jack on the motherboard and is visible if you remove the heatsink on your v5.2 system clevo changed that portion on 5.3. the main vrm is not on the 5.3, they seem to have done the cirucit differently after 5.2, probably because it is prone to go bad. other then the vrm cirucit the only other difference i noticed between the 5.2 and 5.3 is my dead 5.2 didnt have the black video card shield, there are probably a few minor differences too that i over looked. mine didnt blow on me, i bought it dead and fixed it up. but i would imagen there was alot of smoke and that burned smell when it did blow check out the damage; here is a nice pic i took of it after pulling out the 5.2. for those who want to see.
