    Hey guys, I have a Alienware MJ-12 7700 laptop and since the warranty is out I want to make some changes to it, specifically the fans, their LOUD as hell and they keep turning off and on, and dont seem to keep anything cool. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    A laptop cooling pad is all I can suggest, the only way to cool a laptop better is to put even louder fans in, as you can't fit bigger ones.

    Just find out what sized fans they are, search that size fan, and find the one with the highest CFM.
