CQ40 115AU user here. My lappie fan I suspect, so loud now. If I play PES2010 or WCIII it'll emit the sound. And produce heat also. If play WCIII got lag a bit. Whats the problem actually? You guys help are much appreciated.  notworthy.gif

its normal for the fan operating as the IGP keep on generate heats which required by the apps, no worry.

lower down the game resolution settings will do.
