This is kind of basic, but I'm having heat issues with my Sony Vaio PCG-8111L. It's not horribly bad, but on idle the CPU temperature will be in the 50+ degrees range (C). When playing a game it at least automatically shoots up to the 70s, but this is by the time I get my temperature monitor open after closing a game, I'm assuming that the temperatures during a game are in the 80s. I know the fan is working because you can hear it "taking off" while playing a game.
The GPU is a little bit better as on idle it's in the 40s, but when you play a game it shoots up to the 70s as well, but it cools faster than the CPU which usually stays in the 70s for a while.
I opened it up, and the fan and all that appears to be very clean. I could put new thermal paste on it as I have some arctic silver. But what would be the best way to cool it down without messing with the performance of the laptop?
(On a side note, I would want to overclock it from 1.6 GHz to 2.0 GHz, is that possible or completely out of the question given the situation?)
