Question:
GRZ610 overheat problem
I have a vaio GRZ610 laptop. I realize that the fan is a bit loud and also read many reviews about overheat problem, even though i do not experience one yet. I want to know what i can do to avoud this overheat problem in the future? e.g. did anyone try a laptop cooler that works with sony laptops? thanks.
Answer:
I have used the Antec laptop cooler on a Z505ls with extreme overheating problems, due mostly to environmental factors. During the summer ithas reached temps of 130-140 degrees F. With the antec cooler, this has been reduced to 95-100 degrees. Still hot, but much better.
One caution however... The antec product does have two fans, but will most likely require some experimentation to find the best alignment for a particular notebook, and the best results will be on a flat surface like a table. Also, because it was designed to be somewhat portable it will have problem with some of the larger notebooks. Experimenting with my GRT, I found the optimum cooling location to be very precarious, although with that machine very little extra cooling was obtained.
Is it just me or is my sony possessed by Satan?

I knew it!
Answer:
Hi, my GRZ610 started shutting down about 3 months into it's use. Doesn't seem to be related to ambient temp. I live in a cool climate, prop the computer up on its little legs and leave the windows of my house open; problem still occurs.
