Smudge 1 #31 Posted April 2, 2011 [quote name='Dean']Can I just vacuum the fans, rather then spending some money on a whatever?[/QUOTE] The majority of the dust will be outside the fan I assume, but I'd also suggest opening it up and checking there's none inside too. Overheating can also be caused if the fan is blocked and the air can't get out, (i.e. Speakers right next to the fan). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zykev2 0 #35 Posted April 2, 2011 Have you tried playing on the lowest graphics settings? Even the worst computers can run on that. It honestly sounds more like a ventilation problem too me than a graphics card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smudge 1 #38 Posted April 2, 2011 80C? Averages from what I know are 50f - 150f. 150f is around 60C or so - therefore your computer is above average (by alot) on 80C. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
