I don't know if my computer is going to wistand the Blender for a long time. Yesterday i saw it reaches 80 c (176 f) when doing a render.

@hideki that's kinda high, but nothing to worry about yet

@Ghlighte as long as it doesn't meld the soldering or the plastic of the laptop, it's allright.

>doesn't meld the soldering or the plastic of the laptop
Funny story, I was fixing a laptop for a colleague, some HP model. It had an i7 CPU and a relatively powerful GPU, but it didn't have any vents, so it was overheating like crazy just from launching Chrome. The only holes hot air could escape from were near the power socket. The plastic on the power jack was partially melted and deformed, and soldering on the socket itself had cracked.

@Ghlighte i don't know why HP has this tendency to make laptops designed to overheat. I've known a lot of people that had HP laptops and almost all of them ended up failing due to a bad overheating.
