Re: Re: Whats the best laptop for sims4 and work?

or can you tell me which of these fan options is that one that you told me should be 90 or less i believe the number you said was 90 right? I can always scroll up . but if you look at this picture my CPU digital core 1 went as high at 205 degrees just a few moments ago when i launched a saved sims game and as soon as i exited the game it started drecresing. it’s at 109 now. I won’t be playing the game anymore unfortunately until i figure this out ... which really sucks cause i have nothing better to do ☹️ am i able to return this laptop. i wonder what apples policy is. it’s been a month. i just don’t understand what i’m doing to cause it to get so hot by just playing the sims with the game plugged in as everyone else does . please advise . are these any other things i can do to lower the temperature beside cooling pad ? how much degrees does the cooling pad typically decrease from the laptop temperature anyway. you wanna know something . I kind of smell something burning . i think it’s this damn mac book! >:o

@Player_njlrsklo  You're looking at the temperatures in Fahrenheit.  Please switch to Celsius.  The CPU shouldn't get into the high 90s Celsius, and the other components should be cooler, with the possible exceptions of one or two motherboard sensors that I'm not sure would get picked up.

I don't know whether you can return this laptop or not, but while you wait for a cooling pad, try pointing a fan directly at your slightly elevated laptop (put books under the corners) while you play, and see what the temps look like.  The system should throttle performance before temperatures become immediately dangerous, although you wouldn't want to sustain CPU temps at or close to 100º C for too long.

ohhh wow celsius. ok that’s good to know so it was at 93 celsius at its highest point ok And now that i put the books it still makes noise but it deff isn’t as hot it’s at like 80 degrees celcius. So i guess i’m ok for now. except for the sound is kind of annoying. but there is nothing i can do about the fans sound right? Thank you!

@Player_njlrsklo  Yeah, the sound of the fans is kind of unavoidable.  The real problem would be if they weren't making noise.  I play with headphones, so I never notice how loud they get.

Running at 80º C while you play is pretty good, especially for a computer with an integrated graphics chip like yours.  You don't have to worry about excess heat, or that the system will throttle performance much either.
