Just curious, but your actually opening up the laptop and cleaning the fan and blowing out all the crap in the heatsink fins right? Because that could be part of the problem...On my old laptop, when the temps started to get up to like 70C, I would open it up, and clean out all the dust and hair and other dirt off the fan blades and heatsink, and in the surrounding area...dropped the temps by like 35-40*C.
