Guild Wars 2

Anyone having problems with high temperature when plying gw2?? My laptop temperature would hit 90°++ when I’m in certain map or world boss fight but it will drop to around 70°~80° at some map. I’ve set my frame limit to 60 and for my graphic settings I choose auto detect for it. It is normal? and is there any ways to reduce the temperature? I’m using cooler for my laptop as well. And i’m really noob on laptop thing, im hope i won’t trigger anyone of you. ><

My laptop specs : i5 6300Hq, gtx 960m and 12gb ram.

Your laptop internal fan might be malfunctioning. That’s what happened with mine; once I replaced it my temperatures no longer climbed to unacceptable ranges.

Good luck.

Don’t think is my internal fan problem as I still can hear the fan noise when playing gw2 and feel the air coming out from the vents.

Well, my fan stopped making ‘noise’ once I replaced it.

The fan is easy and inexpensive to replace, but…your choice.

You can always contact the Tech CS Team via the ‘Support’ link.

Good luck.

Short answer is: GW2 requires CPU and GPU work to be done, and more of it during things where more players show up, etc, simply because there is more to calculate and draw.

Laptops, especially less expensive Windows laptops, have … poor cooling. Even the high end things built by Apple, etc, with their full metal bodies to act as radiators suffer from heat issues running full tilt, and lower end plastic body laptops … ouch!

Could be the fan is underperforming, and cleaning it and/or replacing it will help, but you are probably basically stuck with the fact it won’t ever be amazing for the purpose.

(This is also worse if you have a laptop that uses less power efficient components to, eg, get more than 16GB of RAM in it, or faster GPU performance, or any of the other technical improvements you can get, but at a cost of more power and thus more heat.)
