Take more breaks? ;-) Seriously, the fan on my Ti500 rarely comes on even when I'm compiling tons of code, but then I also have it on a Podium Coolpad 24x7. I also make sure that the cooling vents on the bottom/back/sides remain uncovered, and if the fan comes on, I often flip down the door on the back at that time to help improve airflow. -- Glenn L.
