So its been a while since i've been on WoW but i'm currently downloading it now.

I have an offer for the 10 day free MoP trial and would like to see whats going on.

I might not even play in mop zones.

Will my laptop be sufficient enough to play at low fps on all low settings?

I know its trash but its the pc I own.

I miss WoW so much and don't have cash to buy a pc.

Please let me know!

I appreciate it so much

Hp pavillion G7 notebook
Amd A4-3305M With Radeon (TM) HD graphics 1.90 Ghz
4gb ram
64bit windows 7 os

I feel like i know the answer and its a flat out no. But if i could play on even the lowest settings with low fps, thats good enough for me.


All i need to know

yup then thats it coolermaster makes good ones and i would definately get a cooler performance should increase even more if it is cooled properly.
and since it is having this problem make sure you dont use it on a bed or couch or something will material will contrict airflow. and be sure to select best answer so i can help more people

i think on low settings it should be fine but to maximize performance on a low end APU make sure all un necessary process are closed go into your tak manager and double check....skype torrent downloaders web pages anything like that would take up process and slow it down. hope it works for ya

Hey thanks a lot kitty!

So i ran it this morning.

Hopped into orgrimmar (decently populated) on my old 85 rogue.

Had absouletly no stuttering at GOOD settings.

Cranked it down to LOW and it was running like a champ.

Only problem is i cant seem to get more then 5-15 minutes of gameplay

what i posted in the wow forum
"Awesome!

After waking up today and having the game fully downloaded i figured i would hop on and try it out.

In a decently populated orgrimmar it was running just fine with no stutters, of course im on low but there is no stuttering and it is seamless gameplay.

Now, Onto the problems

I'm blackscreening after about 5 minutes of playing.

Everything is up to date

The computer itself does not feel very hot to the touch.
But when i start up it says the system has hibernated itself in risk of overheating it says (90d)

I have nothing under my laptop cooling it.
If i got a cooling pad would this help with the black screens and maybe eliminate that?

Even if i could just get an hour or two of play time, thatd be great.

Thanks guys!

It sits directly on a wood table top"


Any thoughts?

make sure your lappie is plugged in when playing and change your battery performance settings to high performance. also do you know where the vent for your cpu is on your lappie? if it is on the bottom of the case this could be restricting the airflow to the cpu try elevating by putting 2 book like objects underneath on the left and right side to get it more airflow. if this helps i would def get a cooler as llano apus are known to run hot.

Thanks, Right before you replied i was being impatient and put a wallet in the back of the computer right in the middle and it elevated the back of the computer highly off the desk without making it unstable

Seems like air is flowing under there a lot better.
Should i get a higher end laptop cooler now? Like a cooler master one?
I'm just worried if i do it might not be better then the fan, though the fan will still be pointed in the same direction as the laptop.

So should it basically be better airflow/cooling?


Also, it still gets hot to the touch when im playing, but i've officially played for a few different 2 hour sessions through out the day today, and its running flawless.

I'm on low settings getting 50-76 fps in un-populated questing areas.

When i get into a few more characters or a heavily populated city its about 21-32 fps, but no stuttering, its smooth as hell and doesn't have any complications to my knowledge

I'm so glad!


Thanks a lot guys

Which one would you pick?


My laptop is about 17 inches which makes me thing the x3 might not work since a few have said there 15 inch laptop hardly fits "perfectly" on it.

The last one is just pricy.

Then the barebones one with the fans i heard it has sharp edges, wtf is that? Lol. Seems like a huge oversight to me.
