Hey guys, thought you could help me out here.
I've had my laptop for just under 3 years now and there's always been the problem with heat whilst gaming. I only play WoW and older games on this so i don't expect to play anything like Skyrim obviously, but i've become quite worried with temperatures and stuff.
I have a Zalman cooling pad, i've tried Throttlestop to keep the heat down a bit, and reduced my max processor state down to 50% (yes, 50%), and i clean the laptop out every month or so. The temperatures normally max around 75 degrees, but sometimes, especially around certain places in WoW, they go up to around 80.
I have an Intel Core i3-2310 and the Tj Max is 85 degrees as far as i'm aware. (correct me if i'm wrong) so obviously i'm quite worried.
I haven't actually experienced any other problems with my laptop, no slowing down or random shut downs or anything. Plus, even when it's near 80 degrees, the only part of my laptop that is hot is the exhaust(?) (the part that blows out the heat) on the side of the laptop.
So, is this just the normal temperature for my laptop? Or is there anything else i can do?
I would really appreciate it if someone could give me advice on this matter, as i've looked everywhere and all i've found is "clean out your laptop" and "buy a cooling pad"
