My laptop has an overheating problem (Lenovo Y550). I'm a scared noob to clean it, and I don't want to take it to the store because that's to much work and stuff.
So, here are my specs for my laptop which has known overheating problems (Lenovo Y550):
Intel Core i7 Q720 @ 1.6ghz
4GB DDR3 Dual-Channel Ram
Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit)
Nvidia GeForce GT240M 1GB GDDR5
It runs older games phenomenally, running Skyrim at 60FPS, GTA IV at 50FPS on Medium-Low, and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 at 70-80FPS low, 60-70 FPS ultra... But then 10 minutes later... OMG I'M ON SUCH A HIGH KILL STREAK DUDE HOLY CRAP! *laptop shuts off* F**k...
Temps:
Idle:
CPU - 82C
GPU - 83C
MoBo - 81C
Gaming:
CPU - 82C
GPU - 90-106C
MoBo - 81C
Rendering:
CPU - 82C
GPU - 86C
MoBo - 82C
It shuts down when it reaches 105C (GPU) The GPU is the main problem here, overheating. The computer has so good airflow on the bottom, with an external fan blowing under for additional airflow. Doesn't help the overheating.
Please help me fix this overheating... It's a pain. I'm thinking about smashing my laptop (literally), I'll post the video on YouTube if this doesn't come to an end.
