Average gaming laptops

Yeah, I got an i5 with intel graphics which i play some casuals mmorpgs.
I was wondering if all the laptops do make a noticeable loudly fan noisy whenever you are running a game, or it's just because of my shitty gfx?

It makes a big difference when I change my power settings to "power saving" (reduce computer perfomance), it stays in silence, a little noisy but really quite... but then I was afraid that that the fans didn't work at all as it gets really hot.

I know laptops are not for gaming, but just for casual gaming.. so I was wondering if the loudly fan noise it's normal or some laptops can be really quite?

(I'm trying to play some HoN match in my college library lol :P)

your i5 has the gfx inside the possessor just an fyi.

Yes it is normal for laptops to be noisy with the fan. My netbook has a higher pitched fan noise because of its size.

If you put it in power savings windows will underclock your computer if there is too much heat. So you will not have to worry about over heating.

However I have noticed even if a heatsink is in an open area (say the motherboard is in no case and just sitting there.) and fans to push the hot air away it will heat up a lot.
