not sure on the route to take for this one. My ping is sky rocketing a lot, and I have no clue why. (Around like 150+) I have great internet connection. But it also seems like my game does a little glitchy type stuff. As if it is rendering something real quick. But I feel like it may be the lag spikes of the connection, any way to by pass this highly annoyance high ping? Anyway I can possibly drop it down?If you get bored just look up BGA reballing
If I were you, I would honestly not play between now and then. Stressing your computer like that isn't good. There's been cases from manufacturers where certain models of laptops (hell even PS3's had this issue) where the heat/cool cycles will break or weaken the solder joints and basically brick your computer.
You could solve this issue by shooting blasts of air into the CPU cooler vents but that just pushes the dust around inside and breaks it up a bit, doesn't solve the problem as well as a disassembly would.
Does your father know how to disassemble laptops? They can be easily screwed up by improper assembly. I've seen laptops poorly re-assembled by Staples for a repair. If it's being disassembled, the fan will have to come off the heatsink in order to get all the crud out, once that's done, it should perform well. The heatsink doesn't have to come off the CPU but if it does, be sure to buy a new thermal pad for the chipset and put on some quality TIM compound on the CPU, don't re-use any of it.
Being that it's a few years old and the fan has probably overheated from trying to push the extremely hot air, it might also be a good idea to replace it while you're in there. They're usually $10 on eBay for a new one. Definitely do this if the fan is rattling or making much noise now.
If I had money to spare, I'd bet this would solve your issue.
I'm betting that the CPU is throttling itself back (reducing performance to reduce it's heat output to prevent thermal runaway) and that's the problem.
An "air duster" isn't really the same thing as an air compressor. You want a lot of PSI (unless you're comfortable enough to disassemble the laptop?).
That's pretty damn hot for a 35W CPU. From what I can tell, thermal shutdown is at 105C and you're at 89C so there might be throttling going on or perhaps instability. Who knows though, with gaming it might be going higher. Why don't you leave HWMonitor open and play AA until your FPS drops real low. Be sure to close out of Prime95.
Post back with another screenshot.
Do you own an air compressor or know anyone that owns one?
I honestly didn't check without FRAPS, I started recording as soon as the game started and stopped when I closed it.
Imgur.com is pretty good
I'll upload a video for you. I just played 3 maps at 1680x1050 with full settings on a 9500GT WHILE recording full-scale FRAPS and got around 30FPS on the maps. There's probably more optimization to do but I think it's good enough for a test.
Intel graphics and a single-core CPU doesn't look like it would do well even with AA. I would still bet heat though.
but it still does the job and let's me play most games! The only thing they're doing is adding the maps from AA3, to this version (which is 2.5 btw), without any new weapons or equipment.
There will be no new engine coming with these maps, nor any considerable new graphics (maybe some little elements, but nothing major).
It won't slow down anyone's game as the admins here are working hard to keep the maps as light as they possibly can for the computer to handle.
Teddy knows. The AA3 maps aren't really that demanding. The engine makes a big difference, on AA3 there's per-pixel lighting everywhere and advanced particles and features that had to be removed from the maps in order to convert them. I have a 5 year old GPU and I'm satisfied with the FPS on the maps.
hey there, where did u exacly did this? "Turned my color depth in graphic options to 16bit, instead of 32 bit" in armyops? pb cvars will kick you for it right?
try to open armyops.exe click console botton and type pb_system 0 and also pb_sleep 500 and pb_writecfg it might be punkbuster confliting with ur system. also download spybot maybe you have a trojan or somthing there
It has to be heat. You can be using a cooling pad but a laptop of that age might already have the CPU/GPU cooler clogged with hair/dust and while the cooling pad will help, you're still not getting air past the heatsink fins
