So I have the Dell XPS M1330, this model has a history of video card and over heating issues. It's been sent back to Dell once for repair, but now it just over-heats all the time. I find that if I ever use it on my lap, or even on a table, it gets to hot. Mainly happens when gaming, or watching a movie, but does happen on the odd occasion when I'm just browsing the net w/music playing.

I've been researching this for awhile now but have yet to come up with a proper solution. Would it be possible to buy an after market fan that does a better job of keeping the GPU cooled? Or does anyone else have any other suggestions?

I use this laptop for travel mainly, so buying a cooling "stand" is not an option.
