these temps are fine.

But raising it up a little over the desk is really good.

If you have 2 pieces of lego under each back corner it actuallyworks wonders :P

When in doubt: C4

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

Do you even clean the laptop bro?

I haven't cleaned it for 3 years ever since I brought it. How do I do this?

take off the rear/bottom panels and give it a good clean. if you feeling adventurous you could take the heat sink off and re-apply some good quality thermal compound. if your gpu is accessible you could re-apply compound to that as well..

 

as like all the other posters lift the laptop slightly to allow better airflow

If I were you I would get thermal paste, open your laptop up clean your fan really good and change out your thermal paste.

Take it apart, if you're not comfortable with that get some compressed air and blow it out

Hello everyone,

 

 

Is there a way that I could get my laptop to be cooler, and no I do not want to buy a laptop stand cooler thingy. I want it to be cooler when like internet surfing and watching videos and that type of stuff.

Is that glitched or is the fan not running?
