well, Armistead, I'll take my chances elsewhere then. Maybe after I klean my fan (66°C CPU heat when playing vanilla on a 3 month old sony vaio laptop

)... Shizuka it is then Dutch or Midway then Celebes Sea...

Time to get a gaming DT so you can enjoy all the features of the game.

You probably could do some of the Solomons battles as long as you stayed away from the US and JP large surface battles, 30 or so ships blasting the hell out of each other with those big guns is a load, but sounds good. Between Augs and Dec...you hardly know what to do with all the TF.,

Been playing in the Solomons Oct and Nov, you can about walk on the JP TF's.

Cams off, contacts on. SS's suck cuz using a 7800 video card as mine fried.
I do the Battle of Santa Cruz and attack another TF after that, but I ran out of torps after sinking 1 carrier, 3 Furataka CA's.
Headed to Tulagi to refit, thinking I'll hang around for the battle of GC, since I don't think I can dock repair and get back in time.
Along comes a convoy I haven't attacked. About 8-10 Nagara's going 19kts, full speed with a bunch of DD's. They come right by the N. end of Savo to Lunga Point. Nice fun group to attack, only a few DD's made it though, .

Two Nagaras coming, almost DTT at the same time.

This is the convoy of Nagaras in the long line .
Another TF of CA's lil north of it.

66 degrees Celsius isn't that bad. I wouldn't worry until you start hitting the 80's.

Tokyo is workable, but not at high TC, been there a few times in a vanilla campaign. Sounds like the graphics card may not be quite up to the task.

Oh yes sir 66C surely is!!! But guess what! I got a can of compressed air from the Shack, and actually blew alot of dust (well not that much) but it made a HUGE difference!!! from 66C to 48C peak gaming.. I'll report back the temp after christening the laptop again

Thanks for the input fellas!!!

Whoa, that was a lot of "dust bunnies".

Going back to it, I was thinking of the GPU temp, not the CPU temp, in my last post. Sorry, for the mistake.
