Hello, quick question for you guys: I'm running Dolphin on a Toshiba Satellite laptop with i5 M450 processor and Nvidia Gforce 330 video card.
The only game I've tried to far is Super Mario Sunshine, it works great even at fairly high settings. I usually get around 25 fps with 100% speed... but only for the first 15 minutes or so. After that the laptop begins to get quite hot, and I'm pretty sure I could boil water or light a small fire with the air coming from the vent. (Although I haven't tried yet.) After about 20 minutes the game begins to run at around 60% speed with poo FPS.
Do you think an external cooling dock would solve my problem? If so, I'll pick one up and give a report that will hopefully help other new users out.
Also, what are some good brands or models to check out? I'd prefer to spend around $50 or less if possible.
Thanks in advance for the help!
