Settings for a cool laptop

from GalCiv4 Forums

For those that are unipue about temps.

 

I have the game on Steam.

OS is reviOS (cut-down  versioan of Windows 11 pro)

CPU is a 9750 that uses only 15% of power (setting in Control Panel/ Power/Change power settings/Advanced)

GPU uses my Integrated GPU (Intel 670 and all the settings are reduced AMAP I also have shared RAM with my 2070 Max-Q.

On an SSD with 32 RAM and a Paging file.

I do have some stuttering but this is a TBS and I have a life.

My Temps for the Main board are 87F and up to 95 for the GPU

I also have unnervingly high temps on my relatively new laptop.

I did have a Klim Ultimate cooling pad but I bought a Thermaltake Massive.

Now I am living in the Philippines and the aircon in my computer room is set to 24C and I needed a small fan too.

It reminds me of my days working in cold mainframe rooms.

I also save and exit the game every 25 minutes to cool down my laptop.

There is something not right with how hard GC4 is pushing video cards.

Come on, this is not Baldur's Gate 3!

It is nothing compared to **II. After a few min I had to close or have a melted door stop called a laptop.

I found out how to put my integrated GPu to less and used Nivida Control panel Also my 2070 to less using MSI Afterburnner and NCP
