Laptop Heat

So I just got a laptop yea probably have already looked at my other topic.

New problems my fan is crazly loud, like 60dB+, the fan kicks in like every few minutes, and will last going at full speed for like ten minutes, there is no fan controller what so ever, and none work that you can download. On speedFan application is clocks my laptops tempature between 40c and 55c+

Should I get the fan replaced or what? Or would a cooling pad work.

I guess they added a more powerful fan because the older models would get very hot. So maybe it would be better to keep the fan? Does it overlap the audio when you're listening to music or watchin videos?

Ah lol, well I guess it is best to replace it. I've used a cooling pad quite a bit for one of my
friends laptops and it works. It is really quiet too.

Well that would be voiding your warranty..... and if u send it to dell they will laugh at you and say nothings wrong.
