Most multi-media laptop can't handle the heat when both CPU and dedicated GPU are used at full load . That's why gaming laptop exists
i5 3210M + Intel HD 4000 = 35W
i5 3210M + GT 630M = 30~35 + 35 = 65~70W !
Higher power comsumption = Higher temperature , need extra cooling solution
Thank you for your help, could very well be right. Getting some seriously high temperatures at the minute that have been worrying me. However, and I am talking through my pipe here so feel free to shoot me down, I would have thought that over heating would happen over time played where as my performance issues are affecting me straight away, even if the laptop has been off for a few hours. Is that irrelevant? Have I just embarrassed myself? I have haven't I, I've done it again. God damn it Evan, every fucking time.
So I need to buy a cooling system right?
