Hi I would really like your help as I'm afraid the temps might ruin my comp.
I'm a gamer and currently have an Alienware laptop m17x:
i7-2670QM @2.2 (quad core)
The GPU doesn't max over 60C which is still high. I don't have a cooling pad at the moment, going to be getting the Cooler Master NotePal U3 with 3 adjustable fans in a few days.
In short, I've been gaming on this laptop for about 9 months and it's starting to push 95C max on my cores so I stopped. Do you think it's dust + no cooling pad?
Any suggestions would help, I've heard that these were made to run hot but I need to make sure, don't want to ruin this baby.
Thanks for any help in advance!
UPDATE: I cleaned the fans thoroughly today and my gaming after 20 min never maxed over 75. Getting the cooling pad x3 fans soon and that should drop it another 5C.
