After almost two years of use, I've recently disassembled my laptop. I've cleaned the case, mobo, heatsink and fins, fan, and reapplied new thermal paste. I've also added an additional cooling hole under the fan on the outside of the case. Things are great now. As far as Dolphin and PC gaming, I've easily gained 15C+ compared to how things were running before. It's great. I used to have to worry about the laptop getting extremely hot (especially while overclocked) and now I don't have to worry about it anymore.
You've gotta love how the factory applies thermal paste.

You'll have to forgive the camera, it's not the greatest.
There's probaby not a whole lot to talk about here, but I figured I'd share anyway. Anyone having cooling issues I'd highly recommend that you open it up and make it right.
