How do you lower the CPU temperature of a laptop?

by dennis60439 . Updated 14 years, 1 month ago

Have a Toshiba Satellite M305 laptop running Vista. According to utility software, the CPU is consistently running at 80 C.

Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T5800 @ 2.00GHz 82 ??C
Merom 65nm Technology

No expert, but that seems exceedingly hot. Have cleaned the fan from outside, but wonder if I need to take it apart to attempt to clean the inside, or if this is “normal.” Any suggestions would be appreciated.
