    After my laptop overheating everytime I run Aion for more than 10 minutes I decided to look into the temperature..

    Turns out the idle temp of my laptop is around 94 C, however it never shuts down from idle or when running any other game.

    Laptop is an Acer Aspire 6935g with an Intel T6400 cpu,nvidia 9600M GS and 3 gig of ram.

    I tried blowing out the airvents, not sure if I wanna be opening it up to see if there is an immidiate problem with the fans or heatsink. While it is under warranty, sending it in for repair isn't really an option atm as I'm currently working on an exam project. I'm considerin undervolting, but I'm worried as to how this will effect my laptops performance.


    Any ideas on what could be causing this? The laptop is raised off the table with plently of room around the air intake places.

    Well you can try changing thermal paste... It helped me a lot...
    Also you could remove fan and remove the dust collected on the heat sink vent since blowing it with air from outside is not always productive enough...

    But since the GPU is not overheating it might be up to the thermal paste on the CPU...
