you need to buy one of those platforms with a cooling fan built in. couple of questions:


It's not overheating now that I've cleaned the fan with the air.

1. are you playing while plugged in? if so, don't. its a quick way of spoiling your battery.


Yes. My laptop stays plugged in all the time. The user manual specifically stated that it's not a battery that is better to use up and recharge. I rarely let it die.

2. how new is your laptop? wow doesn't require that much processing power but it still has a minimum requirement. maybe you need to lower the graphic settings.


It's about two years old now. I looked at www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/ and it checks out perfectly for the game.

3. are you sure you're only playing for 30mins? lol. wow is a timesink. 'specially if you grind and raid.


Perfectly sure. Sitting in front of the TV and keeping an eye on what my wife is watching helps me judge the time.

Computer is overheating while playing WoW. j-whitt987 - 05/05/2011 03:58:40 AM 667 Views
what're your computer specs? LadyLorraine - 05/05/2011 04:21:39 AM 411 Views
My old one would overheat playing SC. Turns out it just needed a good dusting (compressed air). *NM* Japhy - 05/05/2011 04:47:41 AM 199 Views
Almost certainly something clogging the fan. Get some compressed air and clean it out. *NM* Ghavrel - 05/05/2011 05:45:49 AM 210 Views
That's what I'd recommend as a first step. TaskmasterJack - 05/05/2011 09:34:10 PM 441 Views
There are a few things you can do. Aemon - 05/05/2011 06:07:03 AM 570 Views
Frankly, there's no way that a clean computer playing WoW should overheat, period. Ghavrel - 05/05/2011 07:35:23 AM 423 Views

It shows that WoW is not only bad for YOUR health, but also your computer... Zalis - 05/05/2011 02:25:01 PM 521 Views
I suppose I'll be picking up a can of compressed air after my English Final today. j-whitt987 - 05/05/2011 03:07:23 PM 461 Views
Just the vents should be fine. Aemon - 05/05/2011 03:41:08 PM 419 Views
