Overheating

[xile]

So i have a relatively new computer, and i want to be able to do one thing with it besides the internet/facebook etc. , play starcraft. Now it play starcraft wonderfully 40-50 fps on medium settings a lil higher i think 50-60 on low. But the problem comes when i play a little too long or theres a lot of action going on in game (think 4v4, 200/200 army) and it starts to overheat. Is there anything i can do to help this? It's a laptop so i can't really buy a new fan or w.e. but i'm looking for ways to possibly keep my computer cooler whatever they may be.

You can purchase laptop coolers from various manufacturer's such as Antec or Coolermaster.

Tricks to keep your laptop cool:

Prop the back of the machine up using a triangular ruler - This gives it half a chance to get some airflow underneath it,
Never use your laptop on your lap, or on any cloth surface - Put it on a tray (breakfast/dinner tray) instead then put the tray on the cloth surface (jeans, trousers, beds, carpets, duvets...)

If all else fails then buy the laptop cooler:
