People have always wanted quite computers, but that hasn't stopped fans getting bigger and faster on heatsinks.

my laptop cpu produces 7w under full load, it has an ATI Radeon 8mb graphics card, those are the two main heat producers, trust me it gets very hot, it has one fan which turns on at 60C, and I've seen it go to 74C (measured by an external probe)
Which is why I wouldn't want an amd laptop right now....
