Hi there guys
Nobby's been treating himself to unreal Tournament 3 and Call of Duty 4 for the PC ...
Thing is... they look and run sweet as !
but... My Laptop turns into an oven inside once the game gets intense :(
I bought myself a sheet of metal with 3 fans under, to blow cool air into the vents (laptop sits on top of it.)
Seems to have done Sweet FA :(
I downloaded a temperature tool, and found on idle, my laptop is 60 degrees. once i load up my to server select screen, 70 degrees...
now when playing, temperatures will go up rather quickly to 80... then 90...
in the space of 20 minutes.
At 95 degrees the laptop just shuts off automatically.
So poor nobby barely gets any rounds in before it dies :(
I tried an experiment last night, to see if Arctic Winds would cool my laptop :p
So at 3 am... i went outside...
Minus four outside... but Nobby was determined to see what would happen.
I must admit even though I was freezing... I was loving my game... :D
watching the temps, intense game seemed to hang at 72 degrees for quite a while, (maybe 20 mins)
Then i noticed they were rising...
another 20 mins it got to 85 degrees and then 10 mins later... got to 90...
I decided to stop and i knew it was gonna hit the shutoff mark sooner or later.
Nobby's arctic wind cooling experiment had failed...
and so did poor Nobby's body... could barely walk i was sooo numb... but I had done my experiment :p
So guys...
What should nobby buy... or do... to sort this wee problem?
