Quote:No idea about temperatures myself [and the hubby is sleeping or I'd ask him], but there are at least two things that I've picked up from him so far as laptops are concernedOriginally Posted by Tyrrano
Quick background - I play CoX mostly from my laptop, an Everex XT5300T (dual-core TL-53, nvidia 8600M GS). It's not bad. I can opt-in on a few Ultra-mode goodies if I want, tho lately I've been going mostly slider-left.
So I guess the $64 question is, what's a safe temperature to shoot for? I think I can shave off a few degrees with a good laptop cooler, but if the threshold is in the 70s I might have to give up CoX on this machine for good.
1)the *surface* you have your laptop on can have an effect on the temperature. If it's sitting on something soft and squishy [that does include your lap.
], the fans won't be able to get as much air-flow going because the vents that are used to suck air in can be partially blocked by the squishy.
2)The hubby is *constantly* warning me not to set it on my lap for another reason; how hot the laptop can run. It's possible that the temp it's running at now is at least at an 'okay' level...probably not optimum, but there you go. -
The recipe window has a minimum width that appears to be about 1/3 the width of your screen. On my wife's 1024x768 this is fine, but on my 1920x1200 monitor this is ridiculous. Can't we get the window to allow a smaller size so I can see it and wentworth's at the same time without having to toggle them? The largest recipe title isn't even close to this wide.

Well ****. That means I just downloaded 894mb of useless rubbish then. I've been on several of the closed betas before but didn't realize it was a random draw on who got in. Wish they had TOLD US THIS so I didn't waste the time and bandwidth downloading it.
