Laptop gaming on a dell vostro 5460

[Faran94]

so i got a dell vostro 5460... http/www.dell.com/th/p/vostro-5460/pd
just a day old and i tried skyrim on it,works like a charm...

But when the game begins, my fan gets louder and the laptop gets hotters...
i know it is normal, just please if someone could tell me if it will be safe to play games on a dell vostro 5460..Its basically a business laptop, ultra slim and only 1.5 kg and that worries me. Will this effect my laptop life? damage the hardware? should i avoid gaming or what?

Specs

i5 3230m 2.6 ghz
4gb ram

Hello,

Do you have any issue with the Wireless adapter Intel Centrino N 2230? I always get disconnection issues on that laptop.

Do yourself a favour and sell the Vostro - mine blue screened and died.

Dell haven't sent me a replacement in over a month, despite my having NBD warranty.

It is totally fine, the vostro 5460 I purchased at mid of 2013 is still working great. it has been 2 years and it still handles the games fine today. The laptop has two fans build in, one for CPU and one for GPU (nvidia 630M), yes the noisy gets louder when two fans starts working together, the unit get hotter but it is all fine. Recommend you dust out from both fans and heatsinks in every 12 months to keep the good airflow.

Recently upgraded
RAM to Kingmax 8GB DDR3-1600Mhz
HD to Kingmax SMP 120GB SSD

Hey does the 8GB ram works fine with the dell vostro 5460? Because the manual says that the maximum ram is only 4gb.
