Guild Wars 2

This is probably in the wrong area and if it is than move it but nevertheless why does Guild Wars 2 make my laptop run so loud? This is the only MMO that I have this problem with so it obviously has something to do with the game. Don’t just say its my laptop because if it was only my laptop than I would have this problem with SW:TOR and Aion too.

GW2 is CPU usage intensive. Your laptop uses fans to move air over a copper heat sink to cool it and the more you use your CPU, the hotter it gets and the louder the fan gets. I’m not sure about the other games you mentioned, they might be more reliant on your graphics card then CPU.

There isn’t anything you can do about it unless you can find a quieter fan that could replace the one you have. The CPU reliance over GPU makes the game available to more players but it is frustrating for people that have expensive components that barely boost performance.
