I just figured out a good way to cool off my dv9700t (which, even on my Rosewill cooling stand, generated ridiculous amounts of heat on the GPU while gaming or running the new F@H GPU2 client). It's easy. I took 3 old 80mm fans (they came out of old/dead PSU's, one of the PSU's I replaced with a blue LED fan, the other was a cheap dual-fan that burned out on me so I salvaged the 2 fans). I soldered the wires together and have another old PSU behind my laptop with the green wire shorted with a jumper. I attached the fans by taping them together and set it beside my computer. It lowers the GPU temperature by 10 degrees, which is great for gaming and folding. It's a bit loud, but I don't care, it's not any louder than a desktop would be.
