I use my Compaq CQ56 Laptop for web browsing, and watching videos
After about an hour, it gets very hot
about 92°c
I have a cooling pad for it
Should i upgrade my CPU (AMD V140), or reapply thermal paste
The one i have been looking at is the
AMD Turion 64 x2 1.9ghz for £5(it has the same s1 socket), which has a higher passmark score, so whilst i am reapplying thermal paste, do you think it is worth it to give this better CPU a try.
ps. I know it is a bad CPU, but like i said, it is just used for browsing, and i know Compaqs get HOT, but surely they shouldn't get this hot?
