yeah im starting to think about giving my laptop to repair shop... problem is that it prolly wont be cheap :/
afaik, those heatsinks only cost ~150Lt, which is about 40 euros. Not that expensive considering that it won't (hopefully) overheat anymore.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=14414&post=273665 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 16:07:50 +0100 Reply by Animal https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-14414/page-2/?recent=273665#post=273605 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=14414&post=273605 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 13:58:32 +0100 Reply by EXM https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-14414/page-2/?recent=273665#post=273603 Quoted from AnimaL
[...]i have the same problem... and again...no dust...must be the dwarfs
I took my laptop to a warranty workshop (or however you call them) and got a call few days ago. Apearently, the cooling pipe/heatsink in my laptop had defects. The problem was it wasn't completely closed, so the freon gradually evaporated. Without freon it would quickly heat up and quickly cool off. Try changing the heatsink, AnimaL.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=14414&post=273603 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 13:54:23 +0100 Reply by Animal https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-14414/page-2/?recent=273665#post=266705 Quoted from exm
[...] I would agree that design is to blame, but liek I said earlier, my laptop didn't overheat at all the first 4 months. So unless some dwarfes or aliens came one night and changed the design of my laptop, thats not really the case I think. I'll try to clean it up with compressed air, thanks Remix.

Because of dust. I clean the inside of my pc regulary to prevent overheating. After 4 months I have a lot of dust on fans / cooling fins.

i had same problem when i played with laptop, try not to keep the laptop on table all the time, try to put book or something under it so it can get air, that helped for me. I didnt play very much with laptop, so might be just me :P
Or just a cooling pad :) but yeah if I didn't have one of these I wouldn't be able to play for as long as I can. It's not the fact that there is a fan under the laptop but because you lift it up a bit so the heat goes away faster.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=14414&post=246219 Fri, 19 Nov 2010 10:24:19 +0100 Reply by GeneSIS https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-14414/page-1/?recent=273665#post=246218 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=14414&post=246218 Fri, 19 Nov 2010 10:11:44 +0100 Reply by EXM https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-14414/page-1/?recent=273665#post=246207 Quoted from hans
Have you checked for dust?
I can't. Theres warranty stickers everywhere, so I can't really open it without breaking the warranty. My laptop model is Acer Aspire 5741G with i3-350M processor and GF GT320M graphics card.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=14414&post=246207 Fri, 19 Nov 2010 09:30:42 +0100 Reply by SPHunt3r https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-14414/page-1/?recent=273665#post=246023 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=14414&post=246023 Thu, 18 Nov 2010 19:09:06 +0100
