Also my fans track their speeds, how many rpms should the sims 3 be running at?
Am just applying logic here rather than some kind of advanced knowledge of system hardware.
But that's a hardware configuration question, meaning it depends on the fans and the rest of the system. It's not a game-specific metric. The correct answer, I guess, is the speed at which is required to keep the laptop cooled. If the fans are leaping into super high gear (sounds like an airplane getting ready to take off) through routine gameplay, then you wouldn't want to prevent them from doing so or your laptop will overheat. Instead we would want to find out why the game is stressing out such a capable system so much, is the play environment too warm, maybe a laptop cooling pad is required, etc.
