Hi Guys,

I have here a HP ZD8000 (ZD8202AP) laptop.

The processor is a Prescott Pentium 4 3.2Ghz LGA775, Processor Number
640. ( Intel Specs here http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL7Z8
)

The computer has 3 fans on the underside, two spin always, the third
one spins occasionally when it seems to go over about 65C.

The heatsink and fans are all clean and free from dust.

It is summer here but the ambient air temp is about 20C.

I am worried that it is running too hot, and perhaps the CPU is
getting throttled to keep temps down?

HP Engineering said that 65C was not too hot to worry about and the
CPU shutdown would occur at about 100C?

The intel spec sheet says the Thermal Specification is 67.7 (about the
same temp that the third fan kicks in at).

So my question is:

1. Is it normal for a Laptop to be running at these temps under normal
load (Internet Browsing)
2. If not, how can I make it run cooler????

Cheers

-Al
