My roommate's laptop vent is on the BOTTOM of the machine. It tends to shut off by itself because it overheats so much.

Suzerain of Sheol · Posted 07-24-2011, 05:15 PM

Mine does that, too. It's incredibly annoying. Other times, it gets too hot to even touch, which can't possibly be good for it. It honestly seems like my fan doesn't work half the time. It'll just sit there, completely silent, and slowly heat up without ever kicking in.

Cooling racks for cakes and cookies work great for overheating laptops. I haven't had major issues but I do keep track of how much air is circulating around the intake/outake, whatever.

Suzerain of Sheol · Posted 07-25-2011, 12:34 AM

Yeah, I try to just monitor when mine is getting hot and let it breathe when it starts to overheat.

Still, there has to be something wrong with it, the way the fan just doesn't work half the time.

Quiet Man Cometh · Posted 07-25-2011, 01:37 AM

Yeah. Well, given the noise fans make when the break I'm guessing that's not the case. Maybe it's just feeble or put in a poor spot.

Suzerain of Sheol · Posted 07-26-2011, 11:28 AM

So, how fares the war, everyone? Did I do a good enough job making you all hate Maesha? Apparently not, since Serra's a loyalist. :p

...I'd totally be a loyalist too, if I could pick. >_>

Quiet Man Cometh · Posted 07-27-2011, 01:10 AM

Methinks with all the concern about no one wanting to support the queen, was had a mass of sympathisers. I'm seeing more loyalists than rebels right now.

I think a number of people also went one and one if they had mules so they cancel each other out.

Maesha's evil. She dies. ;)

overheating laptops: I think that pretty much all laptops have the vents and air circulation gaps on the bottom because it's the only place with sufficient free surface area to put holes. My vent crawls up the back by the hinges a little bit but the air is almost always warmer than I would like unless I have it elevated at least 1 inch and free of any obstruction beneath the vents. I never use it on a soft surface either. Hard only.

Suzerain of Sheol · Posted 07-27-2011, 11:38 AM

Hmm. I don't really like Ryuko, seems to whine a lot. And the fact that he waited 1,000 years to act, all while his people were enslaved. I would have picked loyalist, if I could have. Maesha's fun to write. :p

Serra Britt · Posted 07-27-2011, 04:02 PM

I was going to pick rebel until I saw there weren't any Feryxonis on that side :p I think there's bad points on both sides, it's just easier to see on Maesha's side.

Quiet Man Cometh · Posted 07-28-2011, 02:46 AM

In that case I'd still be bumping skulls with yoru Suzerain. I'm all up for kicking up dirt at this time, so it's rebel all the way.

Quiet Man Cometh · Posted 07-31-2011, 12:42 AM

Was at Staples yesterday. They do sell laptop coolings pads now. Little tray things with built in fans. Looks like they'd actually work. I'll still with my cooling rack though. Works for me. :)

I love your new avatar.
It makes me think of Mortal Kombat~!

Suzerain of Sheol · Posted 08-03-2011, 07:44 PM

Oh, why thank you. And, I see what you mean.

Fear the flying purple whip-ninja of doom!

Serra Britt · Posted 08-03-2011, 09:59 PM

If it was yellow we could be making "GET OVER HERE!" jokes. :p

Suzerain of Sheol · Posted 08-03-2011, 11:39 PM

Too bad the whip doesn't come in brown or I'd actually go try and do a Scorpion cosplay.

Quiet Man Cometh · Posted 08-04-2011, 01:56 AM

*Knows not the flaying purple whip ninja of doom. Recalls only animated squence of flying armoured woverine claw knock-off really long haired blonde guy of possible doom (didn't see the resulting damage).*

EDIT: and what *is it* with me and typos?
