From ~70 fps drops down to 20 - 28:/ can't barely play with that kind of fps drops. Any suggestions ? Right now running bootcamp win7 64bit. (Late 2009 model) Intel 2 Core Duo 2.26 Ghz , 8 gb of ram , nvidia 9400m. Using Lubbo's Fan control to set fan speed always at maximum(6000rpm) and using giant zalman cooling pad. Anything else i can do to lower temperature ? thanks in advance ! | ||

Blame laptop manufacturers for using parts and system design that they can't adequately cool. | ||

I was thinking about removing the lower case and just put like this on cooling pad ? gonna be much more ventilation , but it's not gonna hurt my laptop ? | ||

Granted your temps are high. Did you say it was dust free? Might be hard to do with MBP but that's where you could start. | ||

Heh, if you're serious about playing sc2 to the point you will take the lower case off, I recommend another computer/laptop that is more suited for playing games. Don't get me wrong, Macbooks are good for everything else BUT games. | ||

The problem is the fact that Macbooks aren't really design for heavy gaming program like sc2.... They are not designed to be able to run their hardware at stock settings in a reasonable situation without running into temperature issues, in order to keep size/weight/noise down and a ton of other factors. It benefits a lot of people but fucks a lot of others, i think its a really big design issue. You shouldnt have to underclock your CPU/GPU by like 30% in order to get non-throttling temps in a stress test. How to do that underclock ? it is gonna lower the performance of sc2 ? Not really sure with MBP, and yes by a pretty big margin if you do it enough to make a real difference | ||

Here is a link to the fan Storm Gaming Notebook Cooler It is expensive and gigantic and requires its own power supply, but it will fix all of your overheating problems. It also has extra usb ports you can hook up to your laptop as well, although im not sure how useful that is. Even if you dont get this notebook cooler, if you just take some small house fans like from walmart or wherever, and angle them at the back of your screen down towards all your connection ports, it will help immensely. The coolermaster broke (most likely due to me not taking very good care of it because i didnt) and since then I have just been using an 8" house fan that has done the trick and gets rid of all the fps drops. | ||
