Hey guys
This is a problem that has been making me absolutely furious for a few months. My laptop's CPU (i5 3210M, Dual @2.5) sits at ~50C once turning on the laptop, sits at 70C most of the time, and in 5 minutes of playing a game it hits 99C! WTF? It also throttles down to 1GHz and so I get massive frame drops. Sometimes, the GPU does as well!!!! I use my laptop on a table, and I think it has good enough airflow. Literally 10 seconds after closing an app/game that's hogging the CPU, the temperature drops down to 80C and then slowly goes back down to 75C. This is immensely frustrated and I honestly feel like I'm in a dead end. What could possibly be the issue, and is there anyway I can fix it without sending it to a store?
