1.	Solve : Laptop temperature get hot and in-game FPS drops rapidly.?
Answer» Hello, I have a Laptop which can get really hot when playing games like Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 and other "big" games. The fans are working for 100% and even more when I'm in-game. I also have a cooler pad with two fans that are working but I doesn't seem to cool the computer when I'm playing games, atleast it doesn't make any difference. Also, when the computer gets to that high temperature my FPS in-game drops to about 40 and before that I had about 90. In some cases it can drop to 20- I play on the LOWEST graphic settings and I have already updated ALL my important drivers. (Processor, Graphic memory card, Sound, etc)I've also changed the power consumption to "High Performance" but no difference. I've tried to download SpeedFan and change the speed of the fans but it cant read my fans. The SpeedFan can atleast read my hardwares temperature and those are at 80 C when in-game. Are there anything more I can do? Here's my system specs and other information. Acer Aspire 5741G Windows 7 Ultimate Inte Core i5-450M processor (2.4GHz, 3MB L3 cache) NVIDIA GeForce GT 320M (Up to 2747 MB turbo cache) 4GB DDR3 RAM Memory 500 GB HDD (203 GB Free) (I also have one externa HDD with the capacity of 2TB) 15.6" HD LED LCD As I told you earlier, I have an cooler pad which were pretty expensive so I expect it to be good. Sorry for my bad english I'm from Sweden... Thanks in Advance!Never heard of a gaming laptop. If you are a heavy gamer, I WOULD suggest investing on a desktop that will compliment the hardware to SOFTWARE requirements and setup for any kind of games. But wait for opinions from other CH members. Alienware... is a gaming laptop manufacturer. The FPS drops because the CPU is being underclocked to avoid heat damage. Laptops are not designed for gaming in general-however, if you cleared the fan and heatsink of dust it would make a difference-I had a HP Probook 4510s that I used for playing GTA4-It rose up to 90C because the fan intake vent was clogged with dust. After cleaning, the temperatures on load were around 60C. Laptop fans are small...Quote from: Transfusion on July 25, 2011, 01:19:25 AM Alienware... is a gaming laptop manufacturer. Alienware is a manufacturer of overpriced "gaming" laptops. That's like when Renault made that F1 Espace minivan. Cool to look at, but completely pointless. Sven, see if that has access to the CPU fan/heatsink or other fans on the bottom. Make sure they're free of dust and working properly. The reviews on that laptop label as anything but a "gaming" laptop. Most of the modern games they ran (INCLUDING MW2) struggled on it, none of them getting anything over 25 fps unless detail is set to minimum. You might just be pushing it too hard.
