    Will tell you about my observations with my laptop, but I'm currently on vacation. I'll be back before the weekend so I'll tell you guys about what I notice then.

    I run my Turion laptop with Dnet. It sits on 2 fan Antec cooler and runs just under 60C which I think is ok.

    I have here running a Turion64 X2 TL-58 at 51°C/54°C (67°C core) at 20°C outside. But it is running GIMPS it could be a bit hotter than on most BOINC-projects.

    Update on my temperature on my laptop using CoreTemp. Forgot to say, but the Turion X2 Ultra is the ZM-82 @ 2.20GHz.

    Idle: ~63 degrees Celsius

    Running Primegrid on both cores with BOINC set to "Use at most 30% CPU time.": ~74 degrees Celsius

    Fan is a bit on the loud side. Don't know the exactly how fast it's going, anyone know a program to measure the %? HWMonitor doesn't seem to detect it on my laptop.

    Stick some compressed air up it, blows loads of crap out, runs so much cooler after.

    I believe compressed air is not recommended in my manual.... as my fan died shortly after I tried that. It wasn't much fun changing the fan either. lots of small parts and screws, but HP had a great manual on how to get it done.

    Maybe Speedfan? Not sure if it works with your laptop.

    If its a Dell try I8kfangui.
