Cooling

My notebook reached 85C in 1min while running ORTHOS. I changed the thermal paste to some coolermaster paste (since it's what I had) the maximum temp went to 74C.
I removed the old paste with some mentholated spirits. I spread the new paste evenly and on both the CPU and the heatsink. I made the thinnest layer that I could and the most even layer.

I then undervolted the cpu by using RMclock (I followed the guide here, the maximum temp now is 62C. I took my volts from:
6x 0.8500V
7x 0.9500V
8x 1.0357V
9x 1.1375V
10x 1.2375V

To:
6x 0.8500V
7x 0.8500V
8x 0.8625V
9x 0.9125V
10x 0.9750V

This is when my CPU is @2ghz, when I overclock I increase the voltage just enough to keep it stable.

When I overclock to 2.7ghz the cpu gets above 85C, soon I will install a small 6mm thick DC 5V Blower Fan. I will connect it directly to usb power and use a small switch to turn it on/off.
