Maybe have a look at something like speedfan that cazn control how fast your fans go then when you have a bit open keep fans at full.

Prop it up on something somehow so air can flow underneath it rather than it touching a desk or whatever.

As they say don't block the fan

the problem with laptops (most) is that the fan intake is underneath right wher you'd put your leg (unless you have the acer aspire 6920g inwhich case its built into he hinge do you never get a hot leg again) causing it to block and overheat.
A base fan does work.. one avalible from ebuyer.com for £20 is what i used on my old laptop while it was having its fan replaced (it stopped working, i stabbed it... had to replace it) which worked fine

Don't leave your charger in it forever ;)

Whoever designed laptops weren't thinking when they decided to put the fan underneath
