I've got a dual-core HP laptop, and it's running HOT.
Right now, it says my HDD is at 120 degrees, Core 1 is 145, Core 2 is 147, and the temp. of the air across the fan is 156 degrees. Yikes.
I need tips to cool this sucker down. D:

I always put a damp washcloth that's not too wet underneath the battery and fan, it works for a while.

I would recommend getting a snap-on laptop cooler if you don't like the method I do.

Wouldn't the moisture start corroding stuff?

Yeah, that sounds like the heat would evaporate the moisture and damage the Laptop.

My dad has a laptop cooler thing that he rests it on, and it really works. It makes the underside much cooler.

Yeah, but aren't they like $40? :(
I hate spending money. D:

Crank up the fans in the bios. Or find some alternate method of doing so.
BTW, your CPU is safe up to 65-70 degrees. Also, core 2 will typically be a few degrees hotter than core 1, nothing to worry about.

I tried, but can't find the option to do so...I'll have to mess with it later.

Put a fan right next to where it gets hot. I did it once and it actually cooled down a quite a bit.

I have the same problem.
Except my fans are too high. It's like a jet engine D:
I'm still searching for a program to do it, though I may end up doing it with voltages

Try SpeedFan.
