I am waiting for the parts of my build, and i have to use my old laptop. It has an i3-3217U with integrated HD 4000 graphics. I got a cinebench score of 67. I expected better, so i fired up csgo. I remembered, that i could run it 60 fps on low no problem. I struggled to get 40 with offline bots, and online was unplayable. I changed thermal paste, because i noticed my cpu runs on 90C at 100%. It got down a little, but no help. Cleaned my SSD, nothing. What could cause this?
 
Solution
make sure you are not blocking any air vents and you can try undervolting your cpu if temps is a huge problem for you. as for csgo they recently updated their graphics for all maps which is probably why it's harder for your laptop to run.
