Title: To all those laptop gamers out there!
Post by: bean9045 on June 27, 2009, 08:34:01 am: I was wondering if you know of any good laptops for gaming that also have good cooling system? My current laptop is getting a bit old and I was looking for a new one. My maximum price is around 1700$. If somethings a tad above that I won't care but I'd prefer something cheaper =).

The main problem I had gaming on my current laptop is it would shut down when it got to hot; and it got hot fast. So I'm looking around for a laptop with a good cooling system so I could actually game on it without it exploding.

Thanks guys.

Select one, customize it, and you're good to go. Only three of the laptops are out of your price range. Also, note that these are gaming machines so they are guaranteed to have decent cooling systems.

Internal clock said 1989. Only works with floppy disc, no USB port, less than 50 Mo of HDD. :D

AMDs already run hot, through them in a laptop where everything is more restricted and you're screwed...I have a Dell with an AMD processor =.- Worst. Idea. Ever.

Post by: Bissig on July 21, 2009, 08:23:41 pm: Funny, my desktop CPU is an AMD and it runs with 18-25° Celcius while browsing the web and up to 40-50° Celcius while playing Tremulous. Maybe you should find yourself a manufacturer which knows how to cool notebooks efficiently (or stop smoking and clean that damn cpu cooling unit ;-p)

Post by: Archangel on July 21, 2009, 09:04:41 pm: most notebook manufacturers overuse thermal paste, or i've seen. cleaning all surfaces off inside and reapplying a small amount of good paste usually brings notebook temps down a good 5-10°C
