    Hi everyone,

    I am using a benq s57 laptop. Its great and everything but whenever I open a game, the GPU would sky rocket to 95'C.
    It even idles around 50'c +

    I bought some thermal paste for it but I can't seem to yank the bottom cover off even after removing all the screws.

    Help please?

    Thank you.

    that's pretty hot!

    Where are you sitting it? On a flat surface? I think there may be a bit more than pulling the bottom off. Most laptops I have opened they seem to fix through to the top cover.

    Not really much help but every little helps.

    Ever considered a cooling pad?

    @peggy_666 I use a Cooler Master U2 with the laptop. Both cooler fans are directly under the air vents. Any ideas on opening the laptop?

    I tried the bottom and the top but after much inspection, i'm kinda sure its the bottom.
