Hi everyone, i was hoping for some advice on an issue I am having with my Dell studio laptop.
Recently when im playing games on my laptop the frame rates drop to around 30fps, I never get a steady 60fps anymore and its getting worse as the days go by. I downloaded speedfan, it shows my 4 cores temperatures. They are very high, core 4 was hitting as high as 87 on some occasions the other cores are around 65-75 degrees. They keyboard feels warm too. I bought a tin of compressed air as I thought the fan may be blocked i sprayed the air into the fan and some dust came out but this hasn't helped.
About 9 months ago my housemate who fixes laptops reapplied thermal paste (whatever that is) It took him all evening to do it and it helped with heating problems before. I don't want to ask him to do that again as it took him all night and hes very busy with work. If he reapplied the paste 9 months ago im assuming it wouldn't need redone so soon. Im really not sure what the problem is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
