sound.of.life Posted March 8, 2012 Report Posted March 8, 2012 I need your opinion or give me a piece of advice on this. I have a Toshiba Satellite A500, everytime I run games in it, the first few hours are ok but after roughly 3Hours it becomes like a Hot brick. Cooling pads don't work. (It's only a year old; daily use of about 5-7 hours) 1993 Toyota Corolla

Hifonics Posted March 8, 2012 Report Posted March 8, 2012 Laptops + gaming = fail. The cooling technology is not up to par with the amount of heat laptops produce. Build yourself a tower for gaming man, you won't regret it. 2010 F150 FX4-18" AA Mayhem-Crescendo BC3500d-Pioneer GM-D9500F 4-channel-2 Crescendo FT1 -2 Crescendo Neo Forte 6.5 -Pioneer AVH-P3300BT-6000K HID Headlights/Fog lights-All LED interior lighting-20% tint on front windows, 1% rear windows, 5% windshield strip-Big3 (XSFlex 0ga) -DC Power 270XP -Group 65 NorthStar AGM battery Coming soon/plans: -Build log-Blacked out mirror reflectors-Tinted tails/3rd brake light
LoudBimmer Posted March 8, 2012 Report Posted March 8, 2012 Xbox or PS3 is way better for gaming. Requires a lot more skill.
c.director Posted March 8, 2012 Report Posted March 8, 2012 My Toshiba Satellite would get hot just sitting there, too hot to leave your hand on the mouse pad for very long. Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/caleb.arnold.9809 YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/CustomAudioChannel?feature=watch

Maxim Posted March 8, 2012 Report Posted March 8, 2012 Xbox or PS3 is way better for gaming. Requires a lot more skill. You best be trolling. There's no way you can say this and make any strong claim to back it up. Laptops do tend to overheat and there's not a whole ton you can do about it. In the desktop world, a graphics card is considered "too hot" if it gets over about 80 degrees C. In the laptop world, you'll constantly see machines running above 90 degrees and some high-end Nvidia chips are known to get over 100. Cooling in laptop computers is simply limited on space and power. My desktop has a slew of 8-inch diameter fans. You can't get that in a laptop. Best options if you want to minimize heat? make sure there's no dust building up in the vents and turn graphics settings down. If you're looking for the best solution, you can build a mighty little budget gaming tower for about $500 (assuming you have a mouse and keyboard and monitor). wtf is lolcats? I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder. Also its more bang for my buck, more real estate for my dollar if you catch my drift. its like the Costco of streetwalkers. I was hoping for 150 . I was hoping she would let me put it in her butt
vibrator Posted March 8, 2012 Report Posted March 8, 2012 I drilled holes in the exhaust and added a fan + overclocking the original, i couldn't use the keyboard but i used a usb one anyway. Henry Ford once received a letter from a depression-era bank robber responsible for the deaths of several law enforcement officers, killed in their attempt to stop him as he fled the crime scene. In his letter, he thanked Mr. Ford for making his Model A Ford such a good getaway car.

It is so much easier to aim with a computer mouse them xbox or ps3 controller. So Xbox,PS3>PC (gaming) Graphics are batter on PC, but who cares?
