Hello Toms guide
I recently bought a laptop cooling pad with 2 moveable fans. Since i experience some overheating issues (especially while gaming) i need to target the important stressed areas of my laptop to prevent performance decrease.
One thing to note, is that my dedicated graphics card (ATI radeon) is not working anymore (hardware malfunction) so i'm currently using the intergrated card (Intel HD graphics). I suppose the stress from gaming is making the graphics chip overheat as well as the cpu.
What i would like to know, to begin with, is where the graphics chip is located on the motherboard so i can target the cooling pad's fans toward that location.
Secondly (assuming this is not a very bright idea), i would like some suggestions as to where should i place the pad's fans in order to decrease the temperatures.
Any help would be much appreciated !
(PS. Already taken care of dust issues, backround programs etc etc)
