Open it up, twist off a random capacitor. Close it. Turn it on.

Turn off the fans

lol it would only snap open and be obvious that something has been done inside, its sitting here at a toasty 82 degrees C

so may get it up into the 100s and burn the chip out??

Run Furmark at the same time.

can't be bothered to download, so am running Prime95 (create most heat setting) and IntelBurnTest, lets see the temperatures soar!!!

Fair enough. Furmark is for GPU stressing btw. IBT is hotter than Prime (set stress level to maximum)

How about one of these?

Yes, buy one of those. Both decent folders with expansion room for a graphics card as well as an excellent PSU!

yeh set it to maximum

anything I could delete to make things even more interesting??

Make sure you clog up any vents with a strategically placed book or item of clothing!

Stand back :eek:

Well deleting things doesn't really do any harm, it just destablises the OS, and might necessitate reinstallation to complete death by stress-testing. Which is just a pain

If you're going to replace it with another laptop then I would say don't bother for the sake of folding. Most laptops do not cope well with constant 100% load. It will be hot and noisy and will put you off using it.
