Title: CPU temps
Post by: Cerveza mas fina on April 08, 2012, 09:22:48 PM: My lappy was running around 85 degrees while playing D3/SC2. I maxed the fps in D3 to 35 and lowered the physics and now it seems to run around 75.

Should I get a laptop cooler to bring down the temps even further? My ambient temp is around 45 it seems.

I bought a laptop stand and after a while I moved the laptop more towards the sides so it was kinda hanging out, exposing the fan hole underneath. I also got a fan control application and forced the fans to full speed whenever I played a game.

But in the long run it's probably better to get the temp down. My 2 case fans were pretty much dead and my cores were like 60C ambient, 82C maxed and after replacing them it went to like 40C ambient, 60C maxed and I feel like the world is less likely to end now. Not sure how much you can change in a laptop to improve cooling though.

SMH.

Guess I'll have to try again or order online. Id like to get my temp down to 70 while playing.
