Ok I overclocked my Tibook to 1.2Ghz and aded some copper heatsinks to the GPU and other spots where I could put them.

I also cut further vents in the fans them selves so they would blow air into the case to most spec on the processor.

What I want to know is what can I use to control those fans so they are on all the time max. Yes it will take more battery but honestly on battery the system is fine its on A/C encoding video it gets to hot for my tastes.

Thanks!

Hmmm. I remember hearing about some programs that will allow you to control fans manually in OSX. You could Google something like that.
