    Hey guys,

    Recently got Resident Evil 5 for my laptop, Can You Run It says my laptop just falls short but if I play it at the lowest settings it plays fine. The only thing is my laptop starts to heat up, now it's not exactly boiling, just hot at the vent bit. Do I run the risk of seriously damaging my laptop if I continue playing or will it be ok as long as I keep the vent well ventilated?

    Cheers

    here's my CYRI test, it's a Sony Vaio

    Im amazed an intel graphics card runs res evil 5...

    as for temps...

    run core temp

    and see what it gets up to.

    anything above 70/80 degrees is bad for long periods.

    90/100 degrees + is bordering on meltdown.


    so better refrain from zombie killing to save your laptop.
