Need advice.

[Post]

So my laptop.

Lenovo Y50-70. Great laptop, runs almost any games that I wanna play on decent graphics (I don't play them crisis 3 type of games)

When I play overwatch it hits 90 degrees celcius (200 farenheit). I noticed if I played overwatch with my laptop angled and used like this with the bottom plate off: [ATTACH=CONFIG]14950[/ATTACH]

It ran around 60 celcius (140 farenheit) MUCH bettter. I'm too lazy to try and fix anything with the bottom plate, or try and fix the air filter on the plate that looks chucked full of dust and needs replace ment. So my question is. Will having my laptop angled like this break it?

 

TL;DR: WILL HAVING MY LAPTOP LIKE THIS WHILE GAMING: [ATTACH=CONFIG]14950[/ATTACH] BREAK IT

I doubt it'll break it, but you gots to be careful of dust and not spilling shit on it, cause that'll kill it.

Why don't you just fix the bottom plate?

 

I have the same monitor

Short term - no, as long as: the outtake fan isn't blocked, no debris or static charge gets into it (the panel is there for a reason you know), and the components are securely fitted.

 

Long term - the dust will continue to cause a problem and you will need to remove it one way or another. Use compressed air if you're too lazy or amateur to do it properly (taking it apart). There's always a chance of something going wrong if you leave it like that, sooner or later something may happen. Touching any of the components ungrounded could cause a problem (as you carry static charge). You also risk any static charge from electrically charged dust particles (rare this is the case but exposing the components to the elements all the time will eventually lead to some issues down the road.

 

If your laptop is worth anything to you, take care of it.

Use this to blow the filters clean like spartan said, its better than nothing

Yeah, thanks for the help.

Now the thing is that I don't think it's much better for it to get to 90 degrees so much and underclock itself to 800mhz. The processor temp. makes me go from 100 to 30 fps in most games and everything glitches out aswell (including sound)

 

In my wallet the laptop's worth a lot, and it's only 1,5 years old. Kinda sucks.

 

Already have compressed air, so that's not a problem, but it aint doing shit to that filter. It's basically a glued-on piece of cloth with shit tonnes of dust in it. :s
