UPDATE: so, after an hour I managed to remove keyboard and the touchpad thing just to find out it's literally impossible for me to remove the fan. (see the video I posted above) anyway i tried to clean it as much as I could and in frustration brought big cleaner and vacuud that shit. To my surprise it's still working after I put it together. I don't think I will be able to play but right now I feel good about myself anyway

MrShankly: could you please tell me how to do it then? If it's indeed harmless..

is it enough if I remove the keyboard and then use a vacuum cleaner for the fan or do I need to remove the fan itself?

What kind of cpu do you have in your laptop? You should be able to undervolt it via software which can save you 10 degree's easily depending on some things. It also does not reduce performance at all and is safe.

IF you tell what kind of cpu you have, i can try and find out the options orr w.e


what is undervolting and why everyone isn't doing it? Just wondering, never heard about it.

I have Core2Duo T5870 2 GHz if that's what you're asking about.

Here you go thats a prettty indepth guide.


It is definately worth it, i do it on every laptop i use (3 so far) and have never ran into problems, and got massive temp saves every time.

i suppose it would also increase your battery life (tho i would imagine that part is negligable ;P)

NIce congrats!!

you probably dont need to do the undervolting then, but personally i would recommend it since the results of doing so are really good and the guide is also pretty step by step.

hf!

ive heard about the antec notebook cooler 200


I use something like this, keeps my laptop cool as a cucumber, even when I'm playing graphically intense stuff. Cost 30-50 dollars, depending on where you live I guess.
How's the weather down there?

Definitely get a cooling pad. Same was happening to me on laptop when I used to play on it. It still did after a while of using the cooling pad too, but it helped a bunch anyways. GL.

I had the same problem with the new laptop I bought when the game came out. I ended up returning it because even with a cooling pad, it was just a really pisspoor made computer with one vent on the bottom.

Cleaning the vents would probably help though. I did that on my old desktop and it made it work like new. Those things collect dust very rapidly.
