halfcard, check for the dust in heatsink...maybe a little cleanup is due with used laptops! ;)

Cleaning your laptop from the dust would help a lot. Changing thermal paste on CPU is a good idea, especially when the machine is 3-4 years old.
Do not expect low temperatures, cooling systems in notebooks badly cope with 100% load for longer periods of time. I would suggest either limiting % of CPU used by BOINC or number of BOINC tasks running at the same time; both can be adjusted using your WCG profile or directly in BOINC on your laptop.

When reducing maximum processor usage in Windows with Intel processors it will invoke SpeedStep and also reduce the core voltage, which in turn reduces the electricity used. From an i3-2310M:
Max Cpu 70%, 1397 MHz, Core VID 0.896 V
Max Cpu 80% 1696 MHz, Core VID 0.981 V
Max Cpu 100% 2095 MHz, Core VID 1.101 V

Note that all your other programs will also run at the Maximum CPU setting.

When reducing CPU time with BOINC it may not necessarily switch to lower voltages. At 100% in Windows and 25% BOINC CPU time I've seen it bounce between 0.720 and 1.101 V. At 100% in Windows and 70% BOINC CPU time it is always at 1.101 V. When reducing CPU time (or cores) with BOINC you will also reduce your runtime by a proportional amount.
