help i wanna play tf2

whats ur cpu
are u overheating?

get one of those new fangled amd fury cards

Are you using this feature? Try disabling it. I've heard rumors that it kills your fps and overall game performance. At least it's like that for me.

how do i check?
EDIT: also installed comanglias fps config, seems to have helped for now
EDIT 2: Didn't help, also disabled steam overlay

https://www.piriform.com/speccy will tell you the temps of everything

when i have the issue my cpu temp is between 95 and 98 degrees C

Holy shitballs batman that's way too hot for any cpu to run on.
You're definitely getting thermal throttling which is why your fps must be dropping.

What cpu cooler do you have?
If it's a decent non-stock cooler make sure your thermal paste is properly applied and that you clean out all the dust in your pc.

You probably want to deal with this asap.
Best case scenario you haven't decreased your cpu's lifespan too much running it that hot.
Although you are dangerously close to the point where you might actually fry your chip.

Wait are you playing on a laptop?

thats p hot imo

he said he is using a mobile processor so I would assume so

yes i am

Check the power settings on your laptop and make sure its set to performance and not battery saving. Make sure you're using all applicable gfx configs. Your processor isn't that amazing so you need to optimize as much as possible.

thanks ill get one

That's too hot for a laptop, and most computer components as far as I know -- every system I've used that's overheated, albeit few, shut off @ 95C to prevent damage. Granted your laptop is reaching such high temps, refrain from gaming for prolonged periods of time (2+ hours w/o a ~30 min break; sleep or off) if you can, it typically spells doom coming in the future if you do on a regular basis.

In addition to a cooling pad, as suggested above, look for vents on the bottom of your laptop that you can blow into w/ a can of compressed air, that the airflow will come out the sides of your laptop -- if you've had your laptop for awhile, blowing the dust out can help a lot as it might be blocking your vents which causes the heat to become trapped.

Just offering what helped me w/ my previous laptops. If you can run your laptop plugged-in w/o the battery, that's something I'd suggest personally, but I never got to try it to see if there was a substantial temp difference. I know my laptops heated up around the battery area pretty bad, which is why I had that idea floating around in mind. Hope some of this helps, and g'luck w/ keeping your temps stable.

@radeon, most throttle from 85C-95C and completely shut off from 100C-110C, although some chips can hit 120C

Arcadia I'm getting YOU A DESKTOP
