Although I've yet to experience any issues that were mentioned. But if it starts doing - then it's something to look at
it mainly happened to me playing DVDs and doing heavy photoshopping. i guess it got extra dusty with me though cos, well, i live in student accommodation and vacuum cleaners are an unknown entity. result = atmosphere not breathable without dust masks

watch out for controlling the fan speed though, i once left it off by accident. 10 minutes later into a rather important assignment, P4 temperature controls kicked in and i lost that 10 mins work

look at the fan speed too, if it is anything like mine on top speed it will reach nearly 180,000 rpm
