Both of the fans broke on my 6 year old laptop simultaneously, Good thing I just happened to have large scraps of aluminum to heat sink until the fans arrive. (thelemmy.club)

There are another 4 blocks under the laptop to further dissipate heat. Off camera, there is a large box fan and a ceiling fan keeping it from thermal death. Sometimes, keeping scrap can help immensely.

I just need one day of web browsing at 80 C to keep it alive (I hope).

It's not that big a deal because I'm getting new fans on Friday, I just need to keep the thing cool enough to browse the web etc.
