My laptop crashed the other day because minecraft made the GPU hit the thermal limit and shut down.
If I put any game on, it doesn’t matter what game at this point, the entire room gets a good 4-6 degrees warmer.
It’s coming up on 8 years old soon.
I can no longer even play HL2 on max settings. And that thing runs like butter on every machine I’ve ever installed it on. Heck I had it playing better than this on a 2006-8ish sony Vaio desktop.
My point is, attempting to load this would immediately turn my computer inside out on a subatomic scale, spontaneously (and against all current physics knowledge) turning into antimatter, destroying a good chunk of the state as an explosion the force of Tsar Bomba rocks the continent.
Reapply the thermal paste?
Definitely reapply thermal paste.
And give er a good dusting out
If Minecraft & HL2 were previously running fine you may need to open up the laptop and blow out some of the fans & heatsinks. It probably won’t prevent the temp rising but it should help with the performance issues you’ve been having.
Buying a laptop cooler is also an option if you’re not looking to replace the laptop anytime soon.
The case comes off super easy, so I clean the dust off once a week (dog hair gets everywhere so o have to stay on top of it) and I’ve even replaced the thermal paste.
It sits on a forced air cooling pad, on top of a hard surface for maximum airflow to keep it as cool as possible.
It’s getting replaced this year when I save up enough, not sure what to get yet but literally anything above a chromebook will be an improvement. I have my eyes on some newer games that I want to run smoothly if not at high settings so we’ll see when I can afford it.
For now though… I just point a giant fan at the laptop and play in 30 minute bursts to keep away from the temperature limit.
I have issues with (modded)minecraft using all ram and vram in my pc, that is like almost 40gb of memory just for minecraft
No, I don’t think I would
I want to try this map now brb
