Questions for those who game with laptops.
I recently got a Samsung
http://www.samsung.com/au/consumer/p...P5C-S02AU-spec
Anyways performance wise it runs Mass Effect 3, EVE Online and F1 2011 maxed out. It's ****ing awesome.
Problem. When playing F1 2011 it gets bloody hot. Like up around 85-90 degrees.
Is that manageable or should I look for some additional cooling?
What specifically gets to that temp? The processor? The GPU? The room itself in total? Suggestion: Open a window and have a fan blowing. 85-90 is dangerous for CPU under load but not entirely for GPU as I seen GPU's (mine as an example) hit that temp. Even a laptop cooler may do a trick (but will ultimately blow dust). Taking an air compressed can and blowing it near the vents of the lappy would be a good idea to clean it out as well.Originally Posted by Violet Fashion by Mindy
Yeah, but when he "recently got a Samsung" dust should not yet be that great of a problem. Do you play on a bed or is the Laptop on a table? The heat produced keeps me from playing on laptops...
dust collects quickly in a system, especially in a tight confinment of components like that in a laptop.
Air circulation is your best friend. Make sure the room is getting it properly. If not, opened window and a fan. I do this as I use my wifes laptop as a tower for her programming. So it is constantly on.
If you do not cool the system down and the CPU is running at that temp, it will throttle down in order to try to counter chip failure due to the heat. But eventually you can burn the core and that would be it for your new cpu. GPU's are more heat resistant, but not by much. What makes all this worst is that unless you have the gpu as a daughter port (so it is a separate gpu from mainboard), the components are all on the same PCB, and it is the accumulative heat. If it is on a daughter port, then GPU should have its own cooler to it.
By recently I mean last Friday. :P
Only the GPU gets hot according to speedfan.
Software monitoring programs are not really accurate. But if it is GPU at those temps, and that is highest temps, then that is still very high but not overtly (temporarly) dangerous (I think threshold is something like 120 before damage occurs). I would seriously get that thing near a fan blowing out towards an open window. Or go into an airconditioned room. Long term wise, that isn't safe.
There ain't no permanent cure for that, except keeping the laptop elevated with sufficient space beneath inlet and exhaust port and keeping the laptop in the direct draft of the AC.
Well first thing is that its a laptop so its not the best although temps that high are concerning.
Get a cooling pad..

Should be OK, if it stays below 100 °C (T-Junction at 105 °C).

Does anyone know how I can convert a pdf document (I have access to Acrobat Pro 9) to Excel 2007 and MUST include shaded cells from the pdf?
I think it's a one way trip from Excel to PDF and it won't go back again except as plain text. I can try some experiments when I'm back in the office tomorrow...
I just got an Mirco sd card to increase the memory of my new Galaxy Tab 2 and watch movies during travel etc...
But the SD card adapter doesn't seem to work and I don't have any way to read/access the micro sd card except with the tab.
Is there a software like Filezilla I could use to transfer files from my PC to my tab over my (wifi) network ? There doesn't seem to be an Android version for Filezilla...
http://droidlessons.com/how-to-trans...roid-wireless/ this? I don't have android devices, so dunno how reputable the app is, but you might want to give it a shot.
Also, and this may be a dumb question, but if the device shows up in your network, shouldn't you be able to at least view storage on it, or is this impossible with regards to permissions etc.?
Thanks kiwi. I just found an excellent program for the pdf to excel conversion by nitro software.
