Have you tried plugging it in? Turning it off then on again? Mac or PC? I really only work with winblows :/

I recommend telling your laptop to chill.

The heat is heading to the keyboard? Is the fan working? I'd open it and see what is transferring the heat upwards. If it's just heat rising like heat does, then a good fan should do the trick and send the heat downward (if your fan works, maybe it's reversed). When my laptop gets to hot I have a glass of water next to me, and I just wipe some water on the hot parts. Artificial sweat.

You have tried immersing the whole laptop in Fluorinert, right?

[FritzPL]

Stop it, guys! It's really not fun, balancing your laptop to stay between 90-105 degrees Celsius every day...

Aww, but I like playing Laptop Hot Potato.

I joined the SuperBadass server. It was completely empty; I was the only one online. Spent ten minutes wandering before my computer overheated and crashed. Second time this week. : (

Come on, big paychecks... I need a new computer......

Huh... That sucks. Guess that server died.

It's not necessarily a bad thing to find an abandoned server, as long as it's consistently up. That way my mom and I could play in peace without worrying about a lot of other people hanging around causing trouble. Also, it could have just been empty due to the time of day. I often find the internet fairly empty when I'm online due to time zones and whatnot.

Anyway, I can't play multiplayer until I can find a way to keep my computer from overheating and shutting down. I've moved that topic down to the life advice board in the computer advice thread. It seems I probably need someone to replace the thermal paste. I'm working on it. It's very frustrating. Also a little nerve racking, constantly afraid that the computer will shut down, damage the hardware, and I'll lose whatever I'm working on.

Of course there is always liquid cooling, you know oil doesn't conduce electricity, you just dump your whole pc into some lvegetable oil and bamm, everythings, cool....
However the acidity of the oil would eventually corrode parts, and it'll absorb moisture from the air.. and dust...
Becoming a sludgy pc destroying mess...
But in the short term, it'll be prefect!

[LordSlowpoke]

you want mineral oil

and you want to circulate it through pipes to a radiator and fan getup

but really, that'd be a jury rig and if sappho doesn't want to apply thermal paste herself i doubt she'd be interested in drilling holes through the case and adding random things to random places hoping it'll work

i'd go "sure dump it" if it wasn't a laptop there's too much potential for fuckups with them

[MarcAFK]

My post wasn't meant to be taken seriously, I know Sappho's getting sick of people telling her what to do with her computer :p

[LordSlowpoke]

this is the internet

this is serious business

go serious or disconnect from aol brom8ladsephski you're just charging up your hours

That's why I suggested Fluorinert.  Wonderful stuff.  Electrically nonconductive, nonreactive, nonflammable, vapor pressure 10 times that of water, biologically inert.... perfect.  Except for the price.

Yah.  I wasn't serious either.

Since I'd rather not necro the Minecraft Mods thread, I have a single question:

Is there a minimap for 1.7.10? Voxelmap seems to of vanished off of the face of the planet, and Rei's isn't updated as far as I can tell.

[Sergius]

There seems to be some sort of update in the thread:
http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/minecraft-mods/1275219-jul-08-reis-minimap-v3-4_01?page=362

I have no idea how it was made and there's no warranty, seemed to be done for personal use by a third party. Hope it works and doesn't melt your computer.

And there's this: https://twitter.com/ReiFNSK/status/417514855155785730
