CPU overheating, over normal 3d gaming
Hi, I have an xps 15z, l511z. i've played crysis 2 and portal 1 on this laptop. And astonishingly they've worked amazingly. However after a certain point when the cpu overheats while gaming, the game consequently starts to lag. As i had noted using a software called CUID. The temperature had reched upto 92 celcius degrees, which i consider extremely dangerous. And so had to shutdown the game. I'm not able to play the game for more then 10 minutes. It is quite frustrating since i bought this laptop for gaming purposes. All i want from this laptop is to play games like call of duty or crysis even at low setting, but smoothly for atleast an hour. I couldnt really afford this laptop but yet i did. It would be great if i could get this problem to be fixed.

At a Minimum I would use an active cooling pad Targus Lap Chill Mat AWE55US.

I have the exact same problem. At first I thought maybe the machine just can't handle high spec gaming (although technically it should). Then after about 10 tries, under the same circumstances, suddenly it worked fine, I got around 4 hours straight of MW3 and the machine was fine, just a tiny bit warm. So its clearly capable of running high spec games. However since then its been back to its old ways and overheats after 10-20 mins. Very frustrating!

I found a way to game on this machine without burning your fingers and fearing ur processors life is going down the drain. I used a desktop fan. Sounds wierd but it really works. I used a desktop fan that sucks air rather then blowing air itself. I placed it behind the laptops exhaust just so that it increases the rate of flow of air over the cpu. Temperature remained constant at 83 which is totally normal for gaming laptops.

PROBLEM SOLVED. i changed my laptops thermal compound, for both the gpu and cpu and now the temperatures have dropped down to 80 for the cpu while gaming for long hours playing heavy games like crysis 2. So for anyone else facing the problem change your laptops thermal paste/compound with one of cooler master's. it'll work for sure.
