XPS L502x overheating issues
Hello you lovely people out there!
Since the extreme heats in europe I got some problems with my XPS L502x. It is constantly overheating when I'm starting the game "Grand Fantasia" - So when I'm starting it for 5 minutes my Laptop will reach temperatures ranging from 95°C to 110°C. Nothing changed on my laptop until this happened, after this I tried some things.
When I'm playing games of the same developer, like "Eden Eternal", which came out shortly after GF, the temperature is constantly on 74°C. Same goes for any other newer game by them.
Now the extreme climate here is over and it only has about 25°C in my room, but the game will still cause my laptop to overheat. But only this game, any other game is no problem to it, even games with better graphics.
I got my laptop now for about 4 years, I reset it up about 1 year ago. Right after this happened I cleaned out the fan with a needle sticking in and a vacuum cleaner - I did this on both sides, the fan directly and the keyboard. Then I updated my graphic driver, but things got worse. Now the idle temperature is between 65-75°C, but still on 75°C while playing other games than this particular one.
I recently tried out the methods this guy recommended, the temperature changed slightly, now it's ranging from 84°C to 97°C. I even lowered the maximum processor state to 20% (But it goes up to 40%, my laptop isn't even interested into those maximums, even on idle it often goes up to 36%).
This is slightly getting ridiculous. Before this problem occured I had no problem opening the game twice and the temperature was on constant 70°C. I start to think it's a problem with the game, but I'm not sure. But I don't think so, the italian client got the same problem - and there is less content on there, so no patch could destroy the game.
I don't really know which data you need, but....
Windows 7 64 bit
Intel Core i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00GHz
6GB RAM
Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000
NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M (Driver version 353.30)
If you need more, just tell me.
Thank you in advance!
