Oil the CPU here DOES NOT mean dip the CPU into the oil. Oil CPU here means apply a bit of thermal grease on the CPU. You DO NOT dip your CPU into the oil, veg oil, olive oil and kerosene oil.

BTW: Since you love to play around with the colours, i hope my post will attract your attention.

veggie oil and a hot cpu :shock:





Call lenovo and have them check out the problem. Overheating is something that I suggest any individual (male/female) not take care of themselves since the notebook should still be under warranty. These computers are expensive as it is.

Vegetable oil -- there are instructions here: http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/01/09/ ... _the_fans/

The best part is, you can do it all in the kitchen, where you keep the veg oil and simultaneously prepare delicious meals for your family!
