Stop using your mother's Dell or stop scalding your lap and get a tray

Repaste that shit, clean off the dust every 4 months, buy an usb cooling pad.

a combination of buying arctic thermal 5 paste and this http://www.amazon.com/LC05-Cooling-Auto-Temp-Detection-Compatible/dp/B00XKU47Y2
also dont be an idiot and put your laptop in a soft surface like a bed
thats literally all you can do. cooling pads are garbage.

yeah the hardware is ass. it's like the budget gaming one though, runs most stuff fine on low.

ACER can barely even boot into Windows after a few years, they're throw away machines, might as well have spent the $900 on a nice laptop that would last 7 years cuz that ACER will only last 3 max making you spend more $ more often

You can't just buy a random cheap PC and call it a budget gaming machine.

I had a hard laugh but then I remembered all the best timesinks have modest requirements

i didn't buy it for gaming, at the time i only had $500 and my other laptop was broken. i just bough the cheapest thing that could play most 2012-sh or earlier releases fine.
im just hoping to get another couple years out of it.
prop it up with two large books or a stand so that is has space underneath for air to flow underneath it. pic related. If you do this it won't overheat as much, but it won't completely remove the problem. The best bet is to buy a desktop

you should retake those math classes cuz your figures are wrong.
i just bought a 500$ laptop that runs dolphin at 1080p internal resolution on my IPS screen. 60 C temps. you just have to spend enough time doing your research. A good resource is notebookcheck.

>>321862137
you shouldn't let a dumb joke fuck with you so much, steel your mind friend.
What's really bothering you?

I rememeber playing sleeping dogs on a laptop once. I put bags of ice from the freezer on it. It worked but is not good long term due to condensation and shit.
Room fan directed at the laptop will also help but your hands will go stiff after a while if they are in it's wind.

That fucking retarded bitch getting the laptop all wet...
>>321860272
