There may be a generic processor fan you can mount/glue onto the chip for cooling. Make sure all other fans are running. Blow out the laptop with an air compressor. Sometime to add more cooling, I'd get a couple of pieces of 1/2" x 1/2" wood and place under the laptop to increase the air space under the laptop for increase air circulation. HAVIT® HV-F2056 15.6"-17" Laptop Cooler - Three Quiet 110mm Fans at 1,000RPM, Last, I think some folks make a "cooling pad" for laptops. If you have agressive compile options (like mine MAKEOPTS="-j9 -l9") in your make.conf, slow them way down (-j1) etc. > I'm using lm_sensors, which doesn't provide a temperature for this > particular chip.
