Bootcamp - Vista - Overheating - Any Suggestions?

I have Bootcamp running Vista Ultimate and it gets pretty darn hot. Anything I can do to help this? Thanks!

I have had the same issues - it seems that the nvidia drivers need to be updated (to prevent the freezing issues) and the fan 1 seems to not be responding to Windows in boot camp
My resolution has been to download SMC Fan Control (which installs on Mac OS X) where you can very easily set fan speeds (I have set to 3500rpm) and then restart into Windows (not shut down, otherwise it loses the SMC settings)
In this mode my CPU temps have gone from 80+ in Vista down to 50 and my case no longer gets hot
i have raised this with Apple as it would seem that boot camp needs new drivers, meanwhile this lets me use Vista on the MBP
hope its useful
Justin
