GE620DX gets really hot while playing high end games

Hi, i just got a notebook GE620DX it works great and performance is really worth it.
However, my only problem is that it gets really hot while playing high end games.
It feels so hot that it is like burning your hand if you put it just right the exhaust vent.
Is this normal with any gaming laptop or there is problem?
Thanks Very Much!

Laptop computers naturally run hot (or at least very warm), and if they stay hot for prolonged periods of time they may overheat and cause serious damage. Whether or not you're experiencing the warning signs and dangers of your laptop overheating, the simple and inexpensive protective measures below will help keep your laptop cooler and make it work more reliably.
5 easy tips to cool a hot laptop
1. Adjust your power settings from "high performance" to a more "balanced" or "power saver" plan. This will tell the system to only use the power required to run your applications, rather than always using the maximum processor speed; if you need to play games or other intensive work, you can switch back to the high performance plan as necessary.
2. Use dust remover spray to clean out of the laptop's vents. Dust can accumulate in and block the laptop's fan vents -- a problem easily solved with a can of compressed gas (~$10). Turn off your laptop and spray the vent to remove the dust.
3. Use a laptop cooling pad that has a fan or two. Laptop pads that have vents but no fans can also increase the air flow around your laptop and they're very portable, but for stronger cooling needs, a fan is the best way to go. For this test, I used a Belkin F5L055 (under $30), but there are also several others selected by this site's previous guide that you can explore or you could even custom build a laptop cooling system if you're so inclined.
4. Keep your working environment or computer room as comfortably cool as possible. Computers, like most people, work much better in air conditioned environments. Most server rooms or data centers operate at 70 degrees or below, according to Server Fault, and that seems like an ideal temperature recommendation for home offices as well.
5. Shut down your computer when not in use, and especially when you are not at home. The last thing you need when you get home is to find out your laptop was a fire hazard (one of the dangers of overheating laptops).
Taking the steps above brought down the internal temperature of an old and dangerously hot laptop from 181° Fahrenheit (83° Celsius) to 106° F (41° C) -- a difference of 41% after one hour of using the active laptop cooling pad and bringing the room temperature down to 68 degrees.

  • Lumia 535 getting very hot while playing basic

    Hi I have been using Lumia 535 for about 2 months and now its  getting very hot while playing basic games like subway surfer etc. for atleast 10 to 15 minutes, it was alright before but the problem started couple of days back.
    please find a solution to fix this issue.
    Thanks

    Hello, GyaniT. Rebooting your phone would help the issue. Note that this is normal for the phone to feel warm. For example, when you are using multiple high-performing apps, listening to music for an extended time, or when it is charging.  To avoid getting too warm and to protect itself, it may automatically slow down, close apps and, if necessary, switch itself off. Let us know if you have any clarification.

    Is it normal for a 2011 2.2 macbook pro to get really hot while watching a HD youtube video?

    never heard of perian. its a quicktime player? would this help?
    Give Allan's advice a try. I'm curious to see how that works for you.
    4GB RAM could be part of the issue. Open Activity Monitor, select System Memory and see what it says for Page ins, Page outs, and Swap used.
    Perian isn't a necessity, but those three together usually cover all the different formats you might encounter.

  • My iPhone 5 gets really hot while using it.. its only my 2nd day with it is this normal?

    My iPhone 5 gets really hot while using it.. its only my 2nd day with it is this normal?

    I had same issue, apple give me a new phone, they say it might be software problem, but the 2nd phone has fast drain too, I took it to apple , they restored my phone as new, and iCloud backed up my contact. I thought about the whole thing, I used to sync it to my window, but this time I synced it with my Mac. 87% at 3:30pm. I think that window has bugs. It is not my iPhone 5's problem. After all those stressful days.

  • I just bought my phone few days ago. From the day I bought it I realized the phone heats up after a little use. It gets really hot while using Wifi and downloading. Anyone else having these issues? What's the solution to this?

    Your VGA is definitely corrupted and it is irreparable, so just make the HP to change your vga.
    Also next time read my post on how to keep your laptop cool to avoid same issues again.
    I assume your laptop was pretty hot during some time and that's the result you've got.

  • Phone gets really hot while using the YouTube app.............

    My iPhone gets really hot while using YouTube. Is/has anyone else experienced this? Should I be concerned?I did a search and only came up with threads talking about the phone getting warm while charging, my phone does not get hot/warm while charging, only when using YouTube and sometimes while using Safari. Any input will be greatly appreciated!

    When connected via WiFi or EDGE or no difference.
    My iPhone sometimes gets considerable warm when connected via EDGE with low reception but this is rare when connected via WiFi or with good reception.

  • Is it ok for my iPod 4g get hot while playing a game

    Is it ok if my iPod touch 4g get really hot while plaing games?

    It is normal for the iPod to get worm during heavy use like gaming.  If you are concerned, you can always make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • IPad 3 gets really hot. Is this normal?

    My ipad3 gets really hot while using...is this normal?

    I actually have this problem with an old iPad. I have used it for over 3 years, and in the last few weeks, both my wife's iPad and mine have started getting very hot during extended use. I don't see anything in the discussion, but is this a function of IOS 8.0.2, rather than dependent on the iPad? I cannot say for sure we noticed it right at the time we did the OS upgrade, but it seems like it was about that time. Just to be really clear, the heating is recent behavior. It did not happen for the first 3 years we had our ipads. Now they get so hot we cannot keep using them on our laps after 20-30 minutes. And is is not the weather or ambient temperature. It happens when it is 65 F. Have not been able to find out why, or how to limit whatever processes are generating the extra heat.
    also, battery life got shorter. Probably because so much energy is turning into heat.

  • My Qosmio X870 gets hot while playing WoW - always shuts down

    Hi,
    I haven't had this computer for too long and in the beginning it worked perfectly. I was able to play World of Warcraft on high graph settings and so on. But lately, especially when playing raids, it gets REALLY hot and suddenly just shuts off.
    The build in fan is working. I have a extra fan under it, but this doesnt seem to help. I've opened it up and cleaned it. Did a Format C, and I have the latest Nvidia graph drivers. I also installed the latets bios driver from Toshibas website.
    I need help, because I have tried what feels like EVERYTHING, and NOTHING is making it better.
    I think its really weird that a "powerful gaming laptop" can not take an old game like WoW, even on the lowest graphic settings possible. I feel like ive paid lots of money fr nothing... Just doesnt seem right. :(
    Any ideas of what else i can try with the computer/settings/drivers or other.
    Thanks in advance! <3

    It is really annoying if notebook simply shutdown while playing.
    In your case notebook reach critical temperature and to avoid some hardware damage notebook simply shut down.
    Your personal configuration is not known to us and we don't know what is running on your notebook but after changing power options (Toms posting), before you start your game close all useless background processes and allow CPU and GPU to offer more performance for gaming.
    Be also sure that cooling vents and cooling grill is not blocked. Notebook must be cooled down properly.
    By the way: do you use original Toshiba display driver or you have installed driver from GPU support page?

  • My new iPod touch is getting really warm while I use it. Is it normal? I mean, I have silicone cover, maybe it's the reason for iPod being so HOT?... How do you think, is it too important to have a cover on the iPod? How about screen protector? :S

  • Whenever i play dota 2 my macbook pro gets really hot. is this ok?

    I just recently got my macbook pro 13 inch with normal factory specs. i downloaded steam and got dota 2 which is btw a really fun game. but whenever i play it, about 10 minutes in my computer starts to get really hot on the bottom. it gets hot to the point where if i put my hand there to see how hot it is, it starts to burn and actually hurt my hand and it doesnt feel good to keep it there long lol. but im wondering if this is normal and if its ok to keep playing? When it gets that hot it makes me want to stop playing because i dont want to progressively fry the components overtime as i need to keep this computer for a long time. i almost forgot to mention that im playing on pretty settings as far as graphics. i have alot of things turned off including shadows and antialiasing and other stuff that i really dont care about and the game still looks great but the computer still gets really hot. any help would be appreciated and thank you!

    Hello:
    The Mac will shut down if the thermal parameter is exceeded (I don't know what that is).  However, if it was me, I would stop playing the game.

  • Hp pavilion dv4-1225dx getting really hot

    ive been feeling my laptop get really hot the past few weeks... when it gets hotter ive just been turning it off but im starting to get worried somethings gonna fry. 
    the heat seems to be coming from the hard drive. the heat can be felt on the area just to the left of the touchpad and up to the keyboard. i can feel the heat coming through the last row of keys. the bottom is also extremely hot way more than the top and in the area that says "hp protect smart" which i think is where the hard drive is. 
    just downloaded everest and the temperature is running at 70 C / 158 F. 
    i havent changed anything on my machine and am wondering where the heck this is coming from and why. ive barely had the laptop over a year and this problem started maybe a month ago. 
    what can i do? there doesnt seem to be dust in the fans from what i can tell from the outside, but maybe i should take it apart and clean it anyway? 
    anyone got any ideas?

    just as an update, i ended up taking it into best buy (geek squad) because i have a 2 year service plan with them. they did a bios update and it seems to have somewhat fixed the problem. i no longer have the noisy fans (weird) and the temperature has gone down somewhat. it is still warmer than id like but i think im out of options here. probably will buy a laptop cooler soon. its also horrible that while searching for a fix myself to the heating issue, i couldnt find any hp documentation regarding a bios update possibly fixing this problem. i could of done the update myself instead. 
    i gotta say though, the lack of support from hp is horrible. not only was this a problem that occured (conveniently) 2 weeks after the 1 year hp warranty ran out but now my left touchpad button is basically falling off too. i had another hp a few years back and the harddrive on that laptop died 1 week after the warranty ran out. how convenient for hp.
    i am in serious doubts if i ever want another hp. 

  • Blackberry Z10 - GETS REALLY HOT

    Hi, I noticed my Z10 gets really hot, especially while playing games and charging the device.  It's so hot, it feels so uncomfortable in my hand and at some point, i don't want to touch its back. Anynone having the same problem? Is it a faulty unit? I don't want it to explode, i really like my phone...

    I replaced my phone because I experienced hot battery and battery draining within 5 hours. It has period of it being hot but it's more acceptable because I noticed when you have a lot of update or installation like the OS update otherwise battery is now doing much better.

  • My mac book gets really hot

    my mac book pro gets really hot when its on is that normal and how do i keep it cool do i have a bad battery or something?

    I do not recommend using fan control software as it can cause potential problems that seem to be ignored by most.
    If you have a first generation MBP (a Core Duo model) the fans ran at much lower idle speed than the later models. However, if you have installed the SMC and other firmware updates released for that model then your fans' idle speeds should now be much higher. They are high enough to maintain the system at proper idle temperature and will ramp up as required to cool the computer under progressively higher loads. The design engineers know much better what they are doing than most of the amateurs on the Discussions.
    Keep your room temperature down to 75ºF or cooler. Buy a Targus CoolPad ($25) and keep the computer on it while working to assure adequate air flow underneath. I have two MBPs that work just fine without any fan software - one of which is a first generation model. I've owned both for over two years.
    If the computer is truly overheating then there is something defective that will require you taking it in for repair.
    You can use the freeware iStatMenu - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - to monitor the temperatures to be sure they are within design specs. Normal range is from around 35ºC-85ºC for typical usage from idle to high loads. Thermal shutdown occurs at 125ºC.
