compaq presario cq50 heating problem

jhonthewolf2

i have a compaq presario cq50 115-nr that gets ungodly hot after short periods of operation

it gets up to around 95 celsius on the die and the air it blows out feels like 60 to 70 degrees

i have taken it apart and cleaned it but it still does this 

the cooler is pretty beefy too

if anyone has some thoughts on how to make it a little less hot let me know

 

 

specs on it are

nvidia 8200m g

athlon 64 x2 ql-60 (35w tdp)

2 gb ddr2 667

runs windows vista

These have notoriously poor mounting so you will have to try and get PERFECT thermal paste spread a couple times.

 

They run pretty hot none the less too but not that hot hot.

when this machine came out i was under a year old so i don't necessarily remember how hot laptops were at the time due to being a stupid baby
