It's too hot to play games, I'm scared to death I'll either fry my CPU or graphics card. sweatdrop

I feel your pain, especially with a compact laptop. =X That, and it warms me up too much, bleh.

I´d suggest removing a side-panel and get a fan blow nearby to reduce
the heat risk,
laptops cases they sell lap-fans for this problem.
Besides, worst thing that can happen is the computer forcefully shutting down
due to heat-switch triggering. 3nodding

Can't do that, they put seals around the back, warranty void if broken. Plus, the panel I'd need to remove already has a high-powered (und silent) fan installed there. I probably just needed to crank up their RPM's a bit more, but that would move it away from the excellently quiet and power saving mode it is in now.

Has a self-build pc. mrgreen
Maybe, but then again you probably don´t need to increase much to get the
heating-problem solved, specially if it´s just pc lagging/slowing issues.
Shutting down is when you need to be really worried, most pc´s can work pretty decently on 30-40 celsius (86-113 farenheit) 3nodding
That´s PC´s temperature mind you..... sweatdrop

I my case I picked the parts myself but had it assembled and tested before delivery. They just sealed it for the warranty.

It normally runs in the 35-40 degrees range when starting up, I really need to check how hot she runs when running something intensive like ARMA III or huh, despite having a next-gen rig, I hardly have any next-gen games. sweatdrop

Sweet mercy, Payday 2 is a hoot. Got it during Steam Sales, and have loved it thus far.

Hehee. xD
Might suggest a room-fan blowing at the pc´s direction,
that works well for the summer heat. 3nodding

It's because of the latest pair of patches and fixes I think. They usually do it right, but every now and then a fix comes along that ruins it for some. I couldn't join any games my brother hosted with the latest patch due to some matchmaking BS.

22 days until we break out the old Hoxton. emotion_dowant

Decided to get StarCraft 2 Heart of the Swarm. So far, it's okay I suppose.
