Sorry, manus, I am not too familiar with cooling down a laptop chipset. You might
be able to find some information on the internet, though. That's one of the drawbacks
of laptops, unfortunately, not enough space to get in there and mess around. You
might try setting it on a wire shelf or something so the bottom can exchange heat
with the surroundings. A few years ago, when my TNT2 wasn't keeping up and overheating,
I put a floor fan next to my computer to improve circulation around the whole box.
It actually worked and might work for you. It is important to have good circulation
around any computer. But, like I said, I haven't had any experience cooling laptops,
but I'm sure someone out there has. Good luck!
