Laptop overheats too much when playing games

[lobster111]

So when i play games my laptop(Dell insperion 3521) overheats from 60 °C to 90 °C (it has gone up to 100°C) in about 40 sec and it really affects performance. I have cleaned it from dust but it still overheats. What can i do? Would cooling pad help the overheating?

Yeah, I think that Coolermaster make a laptop cooling pad, so that would probably be a good idea. Also, if your laptop didn't use to get as hot, it maybe that is has filled up with dust, and it is blocking the intake/exhaust, so you could always get a can of compressed air, and try to get rid of it.

I already cleaned it from dust but it still overheats,

Probably just badly designed then. Here's a link to the cooler that I was thinking of http://eu.coolermaster.com/uk/mobile/notebook-coolers/notepal-i300/
