Problem with gaming laptop causing poor performance
Problem with gaming laptop causing poor performance
I wrote this to give the post another shot. I couldn’t resolve my issues before, and I’m still stuck with those performance problems from two months ago. Any high-end game I play suffers from lag and stutters. Here’s what happened when I tried Valorant: Hope it works this time.
I tried applying thermal paste, but it didn’t make any difference. The laptop cooler also didn’t help. I also looked at the fans, which seemed to be functioning properly.
This Lenovo laptop seems typical for performance issues—often overheating and throttling. If it's still repairable, you might consider swapping it for another model. I’m not aware of aftermarket CPU coolers for laptops, though that’s something you could explore.
I’ll verify it later, thank you. It’s quite old now—about two years—and while it performed well until roughly four months ago.
It seems the software settings might not support custom fan speed adjustments for your laptop. Check if there are any built-in options or if you need to use a different tool.
CPU temperature controls need adjustment in the BIOS or MSI afterburner, though the exact options vary by manufacturer. At such high temperatures, the fans tend to run louder, which might explain the noise you're hearing. Does the sound change compared to when it was functioning properly? Your wife's gaming laptop seems to get very loud during playback, especially with an ACER model.
