    Ì got a 6224w which seems to get rather hot when playing wow. Will an undervolting of my graphic card help on the heat, and how do you undervolt the GPU?

    Best regards
    Kasper

    You could force it to dont go over a certain memory or bus level.
    Try using Ntune (i think thats what its called).

    I don't know about undervolting your GPU, but have you already tried undervolting your CPU?
    This is rather easy to do, it can lower your CPU temps up to 10 degrees C. and thereby lowering the overall heat output, has no negative effect if done properly and there is an excellent CPU undervolting guide here on NBR.
    Cleaning your notebook with a can of compressed air, can also do wonders.
    Cheers.
