    I bought an m17xr4 recently with i7 3840qm processor. About a week ago i started playing bf3 and directly encountered a problem my laptops cpu is overheating(imo). After finding that out i bought a zalman zm-nc2000 cooler and tried playing bf3 with that but result is not that different. Is this common with 3840qm?
