So I'm using a laptop to run all of my bots. Got a i7-3610qm and 8 gb of ram, and running 6 bots atm. I'm not using low cpu on any of them right now cause it glitches out the scripts, but I'm just wondering how far I can push my laptop before it starts becoming in danger of wearing out. It's only using around 50-60% cpu most of the time, but it seems like overheating could be a problem in the future.

 

Idle temperature is normally around 40 degrees, but when I'm running all my bots, after a few hours I'm pushing 90. I think the intel chips are supposed to be good for under 110 or 120, but I'm just worried I may be pushing my laptop too hard. I currently have it on 24/7 to bot, but am I in danger of damaging my laptop if I keep this up?

 

Using low cpu it only goes to around high 70's in temperature, so I normally leave it like that overnight. I have a cooling pad with a built in fan, but I have an HP laptop and from experience they seem have pretty bad cooling systems in their laptops.

 

I'm probably going to get a VPS soon, but should I be worried at all about this?

 

Well every time you're computer exceeds its idle temperature, you have the potential to cause damage to hardware. Now keep in mind most recent computers, will freeze and simply stop responding once they reach a certain temperature. If your computer has not reached that point, then chances are the computer can still contain the heat. Have you tried downloading Tune-Up Utilities? Its a program that reduces all other tasks, especially useful for Win7/Win8/Vista! But either way give it a shot. 

I run 10 bots on macbook pro and its not even warm. Try closing any internet tabs or stuff. Also have multiple clients with maybe 2 bots on each, that helps me.

 

I have a 2011 MacBook Pro with intel i7 and 4gb ram and it gets warm browsing, running 1 bot and playing itunes..
