I have tried and it helped a bit in that the fan doesn't seem like it will take off, but temperature wise not that much of a difference.
At least it's not shutting down, it's staying at around 66 degrees when idle.
My setup is also slightly more complicated because this laptop has hybrid graphics (basically 2 radeon cards), in this case turning off switcheroo helped a bit as well.
The lessons this laptop taught me:
- don't buy ATI/AMD
- don't buy hybrid/dual graphics
I'm very pleased with my other laptop with a Sandy Bridge CPU and integrated Intel grahics HD3000.
