Frankly, there's no way that a clean computer playing WoW should overheat, period. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 05/05/2011 07:35:23 AM
I wouldn't be surprised if people could play WoW on some netbooks, to be honest.

The framerate limit is a good idea; I know in SC2 there were issues where the computer was rendering things many more times than it had to, leading to heating issues. But Blizzard patched that, and I really doubt they'd let something like that slide in WoW.

Hm... now I'm wondering if WoW could run on an iPad (I know you can use one as a glorified remote control for your computer and play WoW that way). :D

Almost certainly something clogging the fan. Get some compressed air and clean it out. *NM* - 05/05/2011 05:45:49 AM 231 Views
That's what I'd recommend as a first step. - 05/05/2011 09:34:10 PM 488 Views
